ssolitar, out of curiosity, why do you want to sort by date published? Also, WHICH date published would you use: original for hardback? original for FIRST ebook version? date first published in ePub format?

Before iOS 9.x destroyed my carefully crafted over 6 years manual sort in iBooks, I did the basic Author/Title sort for non-series books and Author/Series for series books.

For background:
The recognized standard for "shelving" books is alphabetically: Author Name (Last, First) Title (disregarding any initial articles). To get more complex, there are also the Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress systems (in these United States) for non-fiction titles using the subject matter of the item.

BTW, I am retired from my local county library.
