Sorry, but there's still some confusion. In this case, I do not care about the date a book was published by an official source (author, publishing company, etc). I only care about choosing/finding the earliest date a book record was created in my Calibre databases in merging books. Currently, the only way I know is to manually select the merge order in order to retain the earliest date.

If #date column IS the correct field to use for book creation date in the database, my problem then is that it doesn't show up in my list of available Bulk Edit Search fields. The only default date fields that appear on the list are #pubdate and #last_modified. Is #date supposed to be listed there?
Thanks
