Thanks Poppaea. This is one of the reasons I went for the Sony over other readers, so I could buy from a brick and mortar store and return it to the store if it didn't measure up. After playing with the device more over lunch. I found that it does save the revised sort if you put it to sleep rather than turning it off. Restarting the device makes it sort by date again. That I can definitely live with.
The PDFs no longer have DRM (I only buy ebooks if I know how to break the DRM). In fact, they are quite old. I started buying ebooks in 2006 with most bought in 2008-2010. Yes I never delete anything. I'm not even sure what the original format was since they've been loaded onto many different devices and computers since then and the original file was lost in the great external hard drive disappearance of 2009. I'm thinking that I'll just use Calibre to convert everything before I put it on the Sony.
