calibre should always open up with your previous settings.

Preferences ==> Advanced ==> Tweaks

Set the value of the tweak "Specify columns to sort the booklist by on" to None, and it should use the last sort value. You an override this with a list of values to sort by. I use:
Code:
[('authors', 0), ('series', 0), ('#subseries', 0), ('title', 0)]
You want to use:
Code:
[('date', 1)]
