I use and like
COPS.
It has a simple interface and it's pretty easy to set up. In terms of sorting, it has a Recent Additions menu which will give you the last 50 books, otherwise you can look by things like Author, Tags, Ratings, Series, or any custom columns you have (requires an extra bit of config). And it's got a search capability which works well.
I personally use the Docker version as it's easy to set up and update - but I'm used to using Docker for work so I'm not sure how easy that would be for a complete newbie.
