You may have to scroll Preferences windows to get to Advanced. Search for 'date'
You can only add or change Custom columns in Preferences->Add your own columns - e.g. the ones in the red box, viz:
Attachment 171830
The built-in columns are in that list so you can a) include/exclude Book List columns and b) order the Book List columns.

Please don't be so fixated on this date thing. I never said anywhere that I want my date column to be displayed in this or that way. My question is not about date at all. I used it as an example, okay.
I also understand what the word 'custom' means. And I'm not trying to change any column which is not custom.
So, now once the above is established I can only try to repeat/rephrase what my problem/confusion is about.
There are different default lookup-names in Calibre (title, size, timestamp, authors etc.). I think of them as variables of sort. Am I right about it or wrong? And since I think of them as kind of variables I expect that they can be called. Am I right about it or wrong? So, I expected I could use those lookup names/variables in my custom column, but apparently it's not so, because all I got were empty columns. So, non-working (as I expect them to) lookup-names is my issue. That's what I don't understand and that's where I need help.
