Hi,

Really grateful for any support. I've been trying to solve this issue for a few days and seem to be going around in circles.

I have a new Kobo Libra Colour, first time outside the Kindle/Amazon Ecosystem.

My library in Calibre has books listed by the date that they were added into Calibre. I like this, it's how I want it. But I also want it to be that way when I import the books to the Kobo. I don't know how to force it to do this. Kobo shows all my books alphabetically (or it can do most recently opened within Kobo) but that's it. When I try to select the view as 'Date Added', nothing happens, it remains showing in alphabetical order.

I feel like there must be a simple answer to this, but I've gone round the houses looking at Reddit and on this forum and youtube videos, and I haven't found any answer.
Thanks.
