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.

Thanks, I know how to change the LC1 and LC 2 , but is this necessary to override files if so how to do that? If i just change LC1 and LC2 will this work

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.
