Thanks for your response. While I agree that 2013-08-12 would be a more sensible format, it's not what I'm used to.
As for your suggestion to change the date fields to show only what I want them to show, are you suggesting that I make 3 separate date fields for day, month, and year and then compile them into a composite column? This does seem to work(at least based on brief testing), but it's rather cumbersome, especially if I want to input multiple dates(dates started and finished reading for example).
Obviously if I go with that option I'm not going to have all the individual date fields showing in spreadsheet view and I'd want to enter that data by going to the individual book pages. The problem with this is that the fields in the custom metadata tab insist on being displayed in alphabetical order regardless of what order I stick them in for spreadsheet view. This is already annoying enough for me having to jump around all over the place to edit metadata, but will be a lot worse with all the individual date fields and I want at least two sets of dates. I don't suppose there's a way to change the order of these fields that I'm not currently aware of?
