The 'date' in the sony is the date the book was sent to the reader.

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.
Hmmm, I've been spoiled by my (non-'i') mp3 player, which allows me to put the actual date the track was published, and expected to be able to do the same in Calibre.
