xfce4-screenshooter save file name schema

Hi all.
I'm quite new to this fantastic desktop environment. I really like it as a "lean" environment.
Now, I use xfce4-screenshooter quite often but I'm finding an annoying issue.
That is the way it suggests the file name where to save the shots.
I'm running XFCE 4.8 under Ubuntu (actually Xubuntu 11.04) with an Italian locale.
The file name schema is like this:
"Istantanea - ddmmyyyy - hh:mm:ss.png" where "dd", "mm", "yyyy" have the "usual" meaning.
The thing I'd like to get is:
"Istantanea - yyyymmdd - hh:mm:ss.png"
Actually swapping "yyyy" and "dd" in order to get a more meaningful file name sorting.
How can I accomplish such a thing?
Thanks in advance.

Re: xfce4-screenshooter save file name schema

Good question. I always prefer time in the form yyyy-mm-dd - hh:mm:ss, and I found that in general "Local = en_DK" gives this form. However I don't know where xfce4-screenshooter takes its time format from.
