Date and Last_Modified belong to the DB (system).
This PI does not populate custom columns
According to the feature list, it can populate custom columns. I assume it works, but I don't remember if I have tried it or not.

But, the order of the records in the CSV shouldn't matter. It is matching the records to the books in calibre (or creating new ones) and then updating the metadata from the record. If the matched record has a date, then that is what should be in the appropriate column in calibre after the update.

Rellwood: If what you want is to set the "Date" column in calibre to the "Purchased Date", or some other date, from the Amazon page, then you won't be able to do it. The "Date" column is the "added to calibre" date and is set by calibre when it first sees the book. To keep other dates, (purchase, last read, downloaded etc.) you will need custom columns.

Or have I missed what you are trying to do?
