> Monday is anchored to 0, Tuesday to 1, Wednesday to 2, etc.

Sunday is actually the first day of the week (i.e. column index = 0) in almost every calendar I've used. Perhaps this varies by culture/locale?

"Monday is the first day of the week according to the international standard ISO 8601, but in the US, Canada, and Japan, it's counted as the second day of the week." - https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/days/monday.html

I've always thought of Monday as the first day of the week. It's the day that starts the workweek (and school week) and Sunday is part of the weekend.

I find it utterly baffling that anyone out there believes Sunday is the first day of the week. It's literally the last day of the weekend.

Unrelated, but not much, see how Office/Excel WEEKDAY has parameters for the starting day (and numbering starting from 0 or from 1):

Well, Monday is in most of Europe AFAIK?
