In iBooks there is an option to sort the library by the date that the book was purchased. This button is labelled as "Bookshelf"

This works fine if one send the books to iPad as and when we purchase them. But when Murphy strikes and you loose all backups of the iDevice, then you have no choice but to reload all the books again from Calibre in one shot. This makes the Bookshelf button useless as all the books have the same date.

My query/request:

Will it be possible to:
a) include the "date purchased" field in Calibre as a part of information transferred to iPad
b) Use this field as the sort order when pressing the Bookshelf button in iBooks library?

If yes, then I will create a ticket.
