title: Python Pandas detects the wrong datetime format
body: <p>After loading data from a csv file, I set the index to the "Date" column and then convert the index to datetime. </p>
  
  <pre><code>    df1=pd.read_csv('Data.csv')
      df1=df1.set_index('Date')
      df1.index=pd.to_datetime(df1.index)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However after conversion the datetime format shows it has been misinterpreted:</p>
  
  <p>original date was e.g. <code>01-10-2014 00:00:00</code></p>
  
  <p>but Pandas converts it to <code>2014-01-10 00:00:00</code></p>
  
  <p>How can I get Pandas to respect or recognize the original date format?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
