Sort option: Date Added

Shadowjack · 02-15-2018, 12:15 PM

I am interested in being able to sort an authors works by publication date. I use Calibre and the KoboUtilities plug-in. Do we know what field in the SQLite database is used for this sort? It should be possible to populate that field with the Calibre Published field.

Thanks.

The Kobo Utilities plugin already has that function. The Update Metadata function can set the date added to any of the standard dates in the calibre metadata, including the date published.

I don't know how I missed that. Thanks.
