Date formatting in custom:auto-entities

Is it possible to change the date format from “1984-03-14T00:00:00+01:00” to something like “14-03-1984” within a custom:auto-entities card?

As awesome as auto-entities is, it is not always the right answer.

I use flex-table-card for birthdays. See below. You can certainly modify the date how you want instead of what I do.

type: custom:flex-table-card
title: Birthdays
entities:
  include: sensor.anniversary_*bday
sort_by: friendly_name+
css:
  tbody tr+: 'user-select: text'
columns:
  - name: Name
    data: friendly_name
    modify: x.replace(' BDay', '')
  - name: Birthdate
    data: date
    modify: >-
      var date = new Date(x); const months = ['January ','February ','March
      ','April ','May ','June ','July ','August ','September ','October
      ','November ','December ']; months[date.getMonth()] +
      String(date.getDate())
  - name: Age
    data: current_years
    align: right
  - name: Days
    data: state
    align: right

And, it looks like this:

With data under it.

With this, you can click on the headings to sort differently.

Thank you very much for the quick and helpful answer. I will dive into the flex-table card - I don’t know why I wasn’t aware of this! :smiley:

Thanks again!
