I have a Kindle DX, that I've had for almost 7 years. I always set it up using "sort by collections" During this time the book I'm currently reading and the collection its in have always been on the first page. Change books/collection and whatever book/collection I've opened then positions itself in the first slot and moves the rest down. Open 5-6 collections and then open a book and those collections are all on the first page with the most recent collection on top.

A few weeks ago and for no apparent reason it stopped doing that and the book I'm reading has decided to show up on page 4 or 5 in some seemingly random position so I have to go hunt it down from within my collections and find it again.

I've tried having it sort by "Most Recent" but it takes all the books out their respective collections and I have 27 pages of books.

I've tried a hard reset but I don't want to wipe it and reinstall everything as its a real PITA on these older ones re-creating collections and moving books around. Its top out at Kindle 2.5.8 and since I didnt get the whispernet at my house it rarely connected to the new or the store.

As I'm typing this the thought came up that maybe something in Calibre changed this but since Ive never used Calibre so sort collections (is it even possible on these old ones?) I dont have a clue to where to look.

Any thoughts would be great.
