Thanks for helping to resolve this issue

Can we transfer this request to a more appropriate section please?
and let me know where it has gone
As I mentioned earlier I am no wizz kid and it needs to be kept simple
My version of Calibre is set for three columns I believe has a tick in that box anyway
I think this example is getting on for what I require.
I want to indicate in a column that I have read a book and the ones I have not read will have nothing in the column
Then I would like to be able to sort my library of books showing only the unread ones, the read ones, or all books.
If this tutorial can be modified to show the above that would be great
Example Binary Yes/No type column: Here we are going to create a binary Yes/No type column with column heading "Read", look up name "read" and column type Yes/No. The entry Yes in this column indicates the book is read and No indicates the book is not yet read. After filling the entries and clicking OK in the window in the above figure a new column appears with title "Read" in the main calibre window. By double clicking in the position of the entries of this column a drop down box opens that allows you to select "Yes" or "No" or leave it blank as shown in the figure below. So you can now mark the read status of the ebooks in you collection as done for a few in the figure below. A green tick indicates Yes or read and a white cross in a red circle indicates No or not read. You can also leave the read status blank.
