I assume that by "permanent", you mean redo the sort on start up, and not that you are prevented from sorting by a column.
The calibre beta and subsequent releases support a 'tweak' that can be used to specify how to sort at start-up. The documentation is:
Code:
# Provide a set of columns to be sorted on when calibre starts
# The argument is None if saved sort history is to be used
# otherwise it is a list of column,order pairs. Column is the
# lookup/search name, found using the tooltip for the column
# Order is 0 for ascending, 1 for descending
# For example, set it to [('authors',0),('title',0)] to sort by
# title within authors.
sort_columns_at_startup = None
There is no GUI available for setting tweaks. To set the value, you edit the file 'tweaks.py' found in Calibre's configuration directory. A button is available under preferences/advanced to open that directory in a file explorer (whatever it is called on your system).
