HTML5 generates a data picker using:

<input type="date">

On my browser at least, the week starts on Monday. Is there a way of starting the week on Sunday (or any other particular day)?

    @HASEEBALAMRAFIQ No, that question is about using JavaScript to calculate the first day of a given week. This question is about using the browser date picker and setting the first day to Sunday. – Manngo May 22 '22 at 09:08

It's quite a lazy solution, I know, but Jquery does the job quite well.

$("document").ready(function () {
    $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({defaultDate: null, firstDay: 1});
})
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

<input type="text" id="datepicker">

If you want higher security then you can download version 1.13 of jQuery UI on your PC, as 1.12 has some vulnerabities and Google doesn't host the newest version yet.

    Sorry, trying to avoid jQuery, since that’s too much overhead for a simple job. Also all that Google stuff is way too intrusive. – Manngo May 22 '22 at 06:38

Unfortunately, that is not something you can do, this feature was not taken into consideration when this element in the markup of HTML was designed.

May be by using a custom date picker library like datepicker.js, you can have more control over the behaviour of the date picker, including setting the starting day of the week.

Hope this helps.
