After a factory reset and processing, it shows the last 5 books by alphabetical order whether they are on the internal or external storage. For me at this time, it shows 2 test epub 3 files in Japanese (one vertical, one horizontal) renamed to .kepub.epub as the first two files and then 3 books with English titles (The Zap Gun, Yellow Eyes, Year of the Jackpot).
But, after a factory reset, there aren't any sideloaded books, so it can's show them. Any books shown come from Kobo in some way. The books Mrs_Often and I were talking about are kepubs from our Kobo library. With the archiving function in 2.4.0, it doesn't automatically download all the kepubs, only five which will then appear on the home page. What Mrs_Often was wondering was how does it choose which to download. When I last did this, I noticed as well and wondered. There wasn't an obvious link and I didn't look into it more.

But, I am interested in the books you are seeing. A while ago I had a quick look at the order the sideloaded books were processed in. As far as I could see, it was alphabetical order based on the file path. The file names I use are the default calibre save template which is "{author_sort}/{title} - {authors}". That would put something from "Wells, HG" would be likely to appear on the home screen after a logout. Or if added in a large batch of books. Do your file names agree with this or do I need some more testing?
