I'm running Calibre 2.27 and I'm having an issue with the "Published" field. I want to be able to sort all books by a particular author by date, but a few of my epub files don't contain a publishing date field. I can open the calendar pop-up in the metadata editor but no matter what date I set it defaults to the current month and year. I've tried this with several books and always get the same result. I've noticed that epub's that do contain the field also can't be changed. What is the problem here?

Is there some setting I'm missing that enables this action? It's very annoying to have 80% of my books sorted, then a few stragglers that refuse to cooperate.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
