Get list of abbreviated day of the week in moment using

I am using moment and I want to get list of abbreviated day of the week.

so ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"]

I want to be able to use different languages to get these

let resultDates = []; // array to hold day names
const current = moment(); // current date
let n = 7; // days to go back
    while (n > 0) {
      resultDates.push(current.format("dd"))
      current.subtract(1, "day")
      n--;
    }

    console.log(resultDates);

I was able to get a list of days but starts with today, how can I arrange it so it always start with Sunday? also I want to be able to use different languages like Spanish

If you import moment-with-locales.js instead of locales you can access the localization data in moment.localeData(locale). Examples:

console.log(moment.localeData("en")["_weekdaysMin"])
console.log(moment.localeData("es")["_weekdaysMin"])

console.log(moment.localeData("en")["_weekdaysShort"])
console.log(moment.localeData("es")["_weekdaysShort"])
