In current versions the date format is set in your Joomla language files, if I recall correctly, DATE_FORMAT_LC1 and DATE_FORMAT_LC2 are used in orders.
Good description of howto in http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=615&t=775861

If you add the overrides for the administrator language file then you can select to add to BE and FE at the same time.

If you don't set up overrides then next time you update Joomla you will lose the changes. In that thread I linked to it tells you how to do the overrides!

Dates in front end order display use the language constant DATE_FORMAT_LC4.
