Change date to today when moving book between library

hello all

first let me said, I know that when I add a book to a library, it takes the date of today
also know that if I edit the date and use = it will set it to today

however, I have a few libraries, sorted by languages that I read and by genres, then I have one library that I expose to internet using calibre-web so I can access books from anywhere in the world
(yes, I am an avid reader and a long time backpacker)

I sort the public library by date, so new books are always on the top, easy to browse from my tablet or phone

so when I want to get some books, I move them from my privates libraries to the public one however as they are not added but moved, they keep the date and do not change it to today. therefore a book I added a year ago will not be at the top and might be difficult to find (hundreds of public books, documentations and so on)

is there a way to automatically change the date of the book to "today" when moving it between libraries ?
