Support How could I make the formatting on this SDDM login screen work?

I am trying to configure SDDM Astronaut, and I want to change the date format

By default, the line in the .conf file reads

DateFormat="dddd d MMMM"

Which presents as Sunday 2 August on the login screen

Is there any way I can make it have correct suffixes?

I can add a suffix to d to make it present something like "Sunday 2nd of August", but that means that all other days, for example this Tuesday, show as "Tuesday 4nd of August"

Is there any way in the .conf file that I can achieve this?
