I've been having this issue where the entire book count shows up in "Today" in the "Books by Date" view on my PRS-300. The suggestion in this thread fixed the issue for me. I believe I traced the origin of the problem to a "freeze" which required a pin reset for recovery. Maybe I lost the correct date/time at the same moment.
When I checked the device date/time today, I found that it was set one year, one month, and 11 days too early (i.e., 11 Jan 2009 rather than 23 Feb 2010)
I reset it to the correct date/time, connected and unconnected the USB cable (without doing any sort of sync), and the categorizations are now correct in the "by date" view. The connect/unconnect was an essential step. Just resetting the device to the correct date/time was not sufficient.
I might add that I do not use any software on the desktop side. I tried Sony, Calibre, and one or two others and had too much trouble with getting duplicate copies of the same book on the handheld. After I removed duplicate entries, I ended up losing the current page and font context information.
The only books I read are free EPUB and PDF books, so I just copy them from my computer to the "f:\database\media\books" folder on the reader and everything seems to work fine.

Reason: correct typo: reconnected to unconnected
