You can sort the books on the device by "Recent". This is uses the later of when the book was added to the device, or the reading status was changed. So, if you add five books to the device, they will be the first in the list. Open a book, and it will become first. Mark a book as unread or finished and it will become first.

But, the added to calibre date is not transferred to the device in a way that the device uses. And I'm not sure if it is even in the metadata when the book is sent. You could manipulate the timestamps used for the Recent ordering, but opening a book would overwrite that date.
