I just want it to sort by date and only by date.

I suggest you set up a View Manager view that just sorts on Date.
FWIW - I access VM from the book list context menu,
In the View Manager plugin thread, JimmXinu and I had a long exchange about Date column sorting a couple of years ago, I can't recall the details but it starts about here ==>>

Note I am using version 1.3.2 of the VM plugin, it's the only PI I haven't updated, in part because of the problem with unwanted Date sorting.
I sometimes click a header inadvertently which initiates an unwanted sort. What I'd like is a toggle or tweak to disable/enable column header click sorting entirely, and simplified VM functionality in the calibre core - no saved search, Virtual library switching etc.
