What it's doing is sorting by date *and* by whatever other column I happened to last click. So if I clicked the Format column, then Date, it'll re-sort by date then format. If I clicked Size then Date, it'll re-sort by date then size.

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.

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 ==>> https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...&postcount=238

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.
