If you aren't already using the Column Update options for something else, you could probably just use that on a bool column.
But if you are, here's a sort of roundabout way to do it. Won't work on autopop lists.
1. Set up a series-type column called #readorder.
2. Use the Reading List settings under "Reading Order Options" to set that column.
3. Set up another column called #onreadinglist. Set it to "column built from another column." Put this in the template:
Code:
program:
test(field('#readorder'), 'Yes', '')
4. Go to Calibre Preferences > Look & Feel > Column Icons.
5. Use these rules:
With default install path there's a checkmark at C:\Program Files\Calibre2\app\resources\images\ok.png
If you do this right, you should get a psuedo-bool column that displays a checkmark and sorts by
whether they're on the list, not what order they're on the list. You can then hide the #readorder column entirely.
I use it for View Manager sorting purposes myself.
If you use multiple lists and are any decent at composite columns, may also be possible to show different icons for different lists.
