default date in date pop-up calendar?

In a date field, is there any way to set the default date of the pop-up calendar?

We presently have the validation set to :

Minimum Year: -110
Maximum Year: -13

And we set the Default Registration Value to "now".

This puts the current month/day in the individual areas with a blank in the year (because the current year isn't valid); however, when we click on the pop-up calendar it always defaults to the year that is -110 from today. Even when we had the Default Registration Value blank, it kept starting at -110 for the year.

Also, the year values are in ascending order, and it would be preferred to have them in descending order (most recent at top).

Is there any way to do that via configurations?

The popup calendar will always default to the current date. It shouldn't change the dropdown values until you actually select a day, but it should have the appropriate month and year selected. If it can't select the current date it just selects the first date available (usually the month and day will be current, but it'll select first year available as you're experiencing). There is no registration default "now" value for date fields. The registration default for date fields must be SQL syntax date (0000-00-00) or datetime (0000-00-00 00:00:00). There is no way to change the order of the years.
