OverDrive on Kobo: Any Way to Filter Genres/Recents?

I guess I'm used to browsing my library's new books of the genres I'm interested in on Libby.

On my Forma, if I go to Discover > OverDrive, I see "Your Holds," "Just Added eBooks" (which appears to be all ebooks added to OverDrive in all genres in all languages), and a long list of pre-defined collections (18 of them) that aren't of any interest to me. If I go to Search, I can limit the search to just OverDrive, but I can't filter the results to, again, my genres and new books. As far as I can see, I really have to do my book selecting on my PC/Library/Libby. Is there some other way?

My Clara doesn’t show that front end for Overdrlve anymore. I’m not sure why. However, I may have found a way to do what you want.

Tap on the magnifying glass as you did before, and select “Overdrive” from the drop down menu on the right. Now type in the genre you want into the search field. From here you can filter by “Release Date” or “Newly Added”. I don’t know how accurate this is compared to the desktop version of the site, but this is the best we can do atm. Good luck!
