You can customize the format that Deskpro uses to display dates and times in the Dates and Times section of Admin > Help Center > Settings.
The formatting will apply to the Agent interface and Help Center.
The date format M j Y means that when the interface needs to display a date, it will display something like "Jan 1 2017". If you wanted it to display, "1st January 15", you would edit the Date format field to read "jS F y".
