Can books be sorted by last read in the List on the main page.?

sirlocks · 07-28-2021, 05:46 PM

Just wondering if it is possible for the list of books on the Calibre main page to be presented in the order of last read at the top? Can we change the default order at all ? .. which seems to ordered by last added.

Many thanks for your help / advice on this.

See ==>> calibre User Manual: Search & sort

And the View Manager optional plugin ==>> Index of plugins

You'll probably need a custom column for 'last read' date.

If you want a list of recently read books right click the view books button in calibre. This is assuming "read" means opened by clicking the View button.

Got it working! .. I used #lastopened instead of #lastviewed as indicated in the - [GUI Plugin] Auto Datestamp and View - plugin. So I am not sure if I am using that plugin. But creating the custom column worked. Thanks much.
