Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to the device and firmware version. Unfortunately, the library lists on the Touch haven't been updated to the same as on the Glo.

For the Touch, the sort order should be the collection name. The number of books in the collection is under the name in the list. If it isn't in descending order by that number, then it is probably by creation date.

The sort order is stored in the "Kobo eReader.conf". In the "ApplicationPreferences" section, there should be one of the following three lines:

Code:
LastLibrarySorter_shelfList_=sortByShelfName()
LastLibrarySorter_shelfList_=sortByCreationDate()
LastLibrarySorter_shelfList_=sortByItemCount()
As the old touch is not using is not in name order, it is probably one of the latter two. Or, the line is missing completely. In that case, it looks like it is in creation date.

To solve the problem, replace the line in the file with the first line above.
