Hi,
I like to organise my books along their original dates. Gives you an eye opening perspective. Unfortunately Calibre does not seem to like negative publish dates, does not even accept dates prior to 0111. So if got a Book by Plato, written like 400 BCE, I can not enter the publish date.

What I came up with is inserting a second field call it BCE and enter positive numbers. Still wondering if there is a way to enter BCE publish dates in the original field.

Any ideas?
