Minor nit with Quoth's post.

A Kobo under Books in My Books can filter by All, Unread, Reading, Finished, Purchased, Kobo Plus, Imported & Downloaded. There are also eBooks and audio books options for Kobo ereaders that support BlueTooth for audio. You can sort by Recent, Date Added, Title, Author, Series, File size and File type within those lists.

The Filter dropdown also lists the number of books in the filters. Currently, I see All as showing 1125, ditto for eBooks, Unread is 4, Reading is 3, Finished is 840, Purchased 61, Kobo Plus 77 and Imported 987 (adds up to 1125). The last item is Downloaded which basically means the 61 Kobo purchases and 77 Kobo Plus have all been downloaded along with the 987 sideloaded books.

There are also Authors, Series and Collections tabs in My Books which have more limited sort options. Collections, for instance, can only sort by Collection name, Number of books and Date created.

I do have a Finished collection which is automatically managed. Any book that is 100% read when I connect to calibre gets added to that collection. Given the search/sort capabilities of the basic interface, I no longer use any other collections.
