That is strange - my Kindle has also been losing time on the clock. I can set it to automatically update or I can set it manually and within a couple days it will be off by hours. Yesterday I set the time in in 8 hours the clock had only advanced by like 90 minutes or so. Amazon CSR said the time is set by the cell phone towers and that they might have been off. :lol: They also said getting the new update should fix that issue... I'm still waiting to see if it did.

My issue isn't so much having it sorted exactly the way I want. To be honest, if the collections were alphabetical I would be fine. I will happily adapt to whatever sorting the device does - I just want it to be consistent. The fact it isn't makes me worry something is wrong with the device itself.
