I really wish that metadata and book management programs would make that sort of thing easier --- I d/l'd a bunch of the biographies from crich70's linking to Munsey's site, but the best option I'm seeing for puzzling out how to read them in chronological order is to:

- copy all the filenames into a spreadsheet
- open each file, determine the timeframe it spans and add that into 2 columns
- sort the list based on the 2 new columns
- type or paste in the name of the book into the first column
- print it out and check off the books as I read them
