Is there any tweak I can probably do to make this possible or alphabetically is the default and unchangeable?
Since alternate list views of ebook files aren't (yet) available in CR, I use a manual workaround. With the reader connected to my (Windows) computer via USB, I open a command prompt in the folder holding the ebooks and run:

dir /N /D /O-D > !dir.txt

This creates a !dir.txt file in the folder, with the files listed by date. The next time I run CR, in Recent books, I do a "Delete record only" on the old !dir.txt file. The (new) !dir.txt file appears at the top of the list in Open file and is easy to open and refer to.
