To the best of my knowledge, you cannot do what you want to do.

The 'date' in the sony is the date the book was sent to the reader. That date is stored in the Sony's database, and it must match exactly the date the file containing the book was written to the device. If it does not, then the reader will erase the database entry and re-create it from metadata in the book. Does us no good, and takes a long time in addition.

Once calibre supports collections made from custom fields (a few weeks, probably), you will be able to make collections from pubdate (or any other field). Not sure if that will help, especially if you have a lot of books all having different dates.
