I can sort on either, but when I click the second one, everything sorts just by that one alone (unlike what the user manual says that it should sort within the original sort).
A solution would be in the search field first, but using
"#on_reader: yes" doesn't give any results, even though I do have a "Y" in many fields of the "on reader" column - is my syntax wrong?
A solution would be to add the "on reader" as a "User Category" - but I can't find where to make the = "Y" work for it. Yes, I can drag and drop to it, but then I must delete them when they come off of the reader.
Obviously, I'm trying, but just not succeeding - any help would be most appreciated. Calibre is so rich in options, I'm just not finding the right one to do what I want.
Lastly, on another problem - how do I get the "book details" to go back to the bottom of the screen like it used to be, instead of being on the right limiting my view of columns - yes I know I can toggle it on and off, but I like to just glance on the bottom of the screen?
Thanks for any help!

if it is a True/False column, use: #on_reader:true (
save as a filter for future use)
When you sort on the first column, then sort on the second column: the Second column sort is
biased by the first sort.
Filters allow tighter search/sort bias
