AFAIK, No
That is, unless you make some sort of change. Then Last_Modified gets updated. Note there are a LOT more things that trigger that timestamp, so it is not fool proof.

If you sort by Date: , you get the order the RECORD (it might have been an 'empty book') was created.
Almost everything else, need a Custom Column (for your exclusive use) and some sort of method for keeping it current.
I Have a #done column, where I log my have read (or abandoned) date. I have another #edited I log the last time I made changes to the content (style or corrections)
