at the top select the format and send to email.
Paste in the title field: {date} - {title}

Don't put the date on the end because if the title is too long the date won't show. Unless you shorten the title.

It will show up like this: 20 Sep 2020 - This Periodical's Title

You can sort by dates now when you title sort on your device, as well as Content and Devces.

If you want to change it around with the date formats, create a custom column that either copies the date and set it with the format you want, or reset how the dates show in the date field. If you go the cusom column route then switch out that column name for the {date} in the plugboard.

Easy!
I'll give it a try! Of course, whether ebook-convert will pay attention to this, given that from its perspective it's just saving to disk and the emailing doesn't happen until calibre-smtp is run... (and... annoyingly, it doesn't appear to be possible to say "do this but only for periodicals translated from recipes", which means everything else I email out will be similarly modified. It might be easier for me just to hack the recipe...)
