Sort library by last author link added to db
I'm trying to figure how to sort the library by the last titles whose authors have had a recent 'author link' added to the database.

Links don't have a date so there isn't anything to sort on. You might be able to hack something with a custom date column and action chains, but if so it isn't obvious.

Depending on what your links look like you might be able to embed a date in the URL as a query argument, use a template to extract it to a composite column then sort on that

wouldn't {last_modified} have been updated also? so would a AND search work

The problem is you don't know what changed. Perhaps a book with a link has a tag changed.

Thanks, theducks!

I often forget the Modified column, as I use mostly a custom column set by Last Modified plugin!

Yep, but sorting by Modified in this case, as I'm only doing the author link changes at the moment is sufficient

Try it. I'm not sure author links change last modified because in fact the book didn't change.

I confirm that sorting by Modified works fine for this purpose

That is why I suggested a AND with what ever the has author link search did

I can confirm that any update to an Author via Manage Authors, including updates to the Link and Note properties. ripple through to update the Modified/last_modified columns for all books by that Author.
