Thanks GeoffR, Oak, MikeB for your replies. :-)
OK, I checked out the Kobo ereader.conf file, and it contains the following:
Quote:
LastLibrarySorter_Recommendations_=sortByNull()
LastLibrarySorter_books_=sortByTitle()
LastLibrarySorter_books_filterByBundled%28%29=sort ByTitle()
LastLibrarySorter_books_filterByMine%28%29=sortByN ewest()

So it looks like it's not recognising the "sort by" settings.
How do I fix it?
Added:
OK, since it's only new and hasn't had time to accrue much that can't be replaced. I tried a factory reset. (From the onboard Settings page, then logging into the Kobo desktop via USB and creating an account on the system.)
It still does the same, except that rather being stuck on sorting by Title, it's now stuck on sorting by Recently read. How weird.
I have a question: I've put my books on the device in a folder called "Books", and then sub-folders according to author (I use drag-and-drop from my PC, not Calibre, to sideload books). Is the name of that Books folder case-sensitive? (Likewise, if I want to try out some custom fonts on the new screen, should their folder be named Fonts or fonts?)
