Set start day of the week in jQuery UI Datepicker?

jquery, jquery-ui

Solution

Try the firstDay option (in the options tab):

//getter
var firstDay = $('.selector').datepicker('option', 'firstDay');
//setter
$('.selector').datepicker('option', 'firstDay', 1);

Problem

I'm looking through the docs for the jQuery UI Datepicker (http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/), but I can't find how to set the first day of the week as Monday. Applying regional settings will set Monday as first day of the week, but this will also change the language.
