If I want my books to show up from oldest to newest, I'd change the published date to look like this:

Book 1 dec 2010
Book 2 nov 2010
Book 3 oct 2010
I know several posters are successfully using this idea as well.

My messing around was to try and get Calibre to do lots of the work since they have added the social meta data lookup and catalog functions. I love this because I no longer need to do so much of it manually.

Since I sometimes travel internationally for 30 day periods, I often start reading an author and want to know which book to read next without having to go look up information. Keeping the list of books that I have within the collection folder for that author works best for me to start the next book on the fly. You'd think I could remember what books comes next, but as Abookreader says, unless the title is numbered or alphabetized, my brain freezes


cheers
