@tokurvin As documentation states, first argument is locale, second is date.

I actually tried that first, but then changed it to what you recommended above. Unfortunately I am still so inexperienced, I did not understand that was not a solution, but something else…

But I think I now got it working by adding the following inline: formatShortWeekday={(locale,value) => [‘Su’, ‘Ma’, ‘Ti’, ‘Ke’, ‘To’, ‘Pe’, ‘La’][value.getDay()]}

I tried to create a callback and it was probably the issue I had.
