Alphabet book for Guide Dogs -- Sept 4 2019
Bob the Builder construction textbook for engineers -- March 3 2020
Cat in the Hat -- Jan 1 2020
Dictionary -- Feb 1 2020
Everything You need to know about GUI Plugin Annotations -- Dec 20 2015

I'd like the ability to sort in this way (most recent annotation at the top):

Bob the Builder construction textbook for engineers -- March 3 2020
Dictionary -- Feb 1 2020
Cat in the Hat -- Jan 1 2020
Alphabet book for Guide Dogs -- Sept 4 2019
Everything You need to know about GUI Plugin Annotations -- Dec 20 2015

I see. Does anybody have any suggestions then? Or any workarounds?

Update 1: Are annotations and highlights accounted as modifications, to the eyes of Calibre or to the eyes of Kobo?
Update 2: Maybe there's a way, in Calibre, to show just the ebooks with annotations/highlights, and then sort by date, assuming the timestamp changes when there's a new highlight or note on the ebook?
