Question: is there a way to order the books in the library by the date the file was created/edited on the harddrive?

last_modified is the Timestamp of the Metadata change, not File
It can be
triggered by anything that affects anything that shows in the Tag Browser (and a few others). (Not reliable for real changes)
Date is the date the RECORD was created (if you don't mess with that)
Published, well, that should be obvious
There is no database of the File date. You can hover over the format in the Metadata edit window and see the formats timestamp
