I'm a little confused by the sorting order of non-Reading List books here:

- The device is plugged in, so "On Device" sorts first.

- Then it also sorts by "On Kobo." (The lock doesn't reflect the value of the column itself; it just means that #kobocoll has "Kobo Store" in it).

- Then the books I'm currently reading (comp column that returns "true" if #read, #lastread, and #percentread all match certain values) sort to the top.

- Then it sorts by the reading list. I use the pseudobool "on Reading List" so that I can sort RL in ascending order and still have it appear on top. (Unfortunate side effect is that any RL books being read sort to the top, but I can live with that.)

However, after all of that it should sort the Currently Reading books in descending order by #percentread, and then sort any with the same percentage (e.g. 100% for fully read) by date.

Instead, I get what I see in the screenshot.

I have maximum_resort_levels = 12.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
