Wow, folks, thank you so much for the thorough responses. While a bit disheartened, it's good to clear the air and know that Kindles cannot do what I want them to do (the problem isn't with me!
)
Messing with the publication dates sounds like a viable, unobtrusive option. When I'm less bitter about messing with this stuff for hours -- all for naught -- I'll give it another look. lol
And no, no Collections Plugin for me. Not yet, anyway. Amazon has already released 3 firmware updates, though, since I got my Kindle in December, so I suppose it can't hurt to hope that they continue to develop and distribute.
Thanks again for all the help kiwidude and itimpi. Tbph, I still don't really see the need to use plugboards when the software is as phenomenal as it is and the plugin developers are clearly so top notch. I suppose that could be because I only have 25 books in my library atm.
