I am reluctant to register and update in case I need to do a jailbreak - somewhere it says a jailbreak is not possible after a firmware update.

So the big questions remain:
would registering and updating fix

1. the problem with "recent"?
and
2. allow a bigger font size in the UI?
You probably need to visit the Kindle Developers forum here, particularly, you should make the folder that blocks firmware updates.

Registration status does not affect the ability to jail break. firmware version does. If your current version is not jail breakable, it is unlikely any newer version would be.

HarryT is almost certainly correct that setting the correct time will fix your sorting problem. Setting the time is trivial after jail break and ssh or terminal access installed, so you might as well check whether you can jail break and do that if you can. Otherwise, start the setup and registration process and stop as soon as the date and time are correct. At a minimum, the Voyage will need to have connected to wifi, but maybe that means registration will have to be complete. You might want to disconnect from wifi as soon as possible after that if you do not want it to download cover images for every book you have ever purchased and other clutter.

Even if you manually update to any newer firmware, unless you are able to set the correct date and time, you will very likely still have the sorting problem.
