The month table layout is hard-coded in line 515 of file t-pocketdiary.lua

The code that decides in which cell to put the '1' of the first day is calculated elsewhere and not passed as a parameter.

That rules out a simple fix - you'd need to add a "weekstart" or similar parameter and track/act on it in various parts of the code.
