Date picker should display past years by default

Hi Timo,

When I use the date picker and click the year, it shows the future years by default.

Can you show the past years instead? Since this is a journal app, I think more people are interested in creating or reviewing past entries. I don't think people will make a lot of future dated entries especially 20+ years in the future. You can display a few future years just in case.

This is my suggestion. It would avoid needing to swipe just to access older years.

This is the default Android date picker behavior as programmed by Google. I can't fix that behavior and won't implement custom date picker

timo Hi Timo, I use another android app, Birday, and I think he uses the same date picker like you because it looks the same. This is the default after you click the year.

It would be interesting if the date picker could more easily accommodate past dates, especially for users who might want to record historical events or moments that have significance today. This could be helpful for those documenting past occurrences that still have relevance in the present.
