When I first started using Calibre, the date field would reflect the date when I imported a book, making it easy to find recent additions. In recent versions, sometimes that happens, and sometimes an older date appears.

So:
What does the Date field represent?
Where does the Date for a new book come from?
Can I make Date consistently reflect "Date added" or can I create a "Date added" field?

I'm on Win7, usually updating Calibre as new versions appear. I import books by dragging them from Windows Explorer to the Calibri UI.

Thanks,
Ray
