Method for seeing only the recent imports

[peterloron]

Last night I ran into a situation that has plagued me from time to time. I imported 30 or so books, which already had some metadata. I then accidentally sorted by author or some such. The books were then lost in the maze of my library.

Is there any way to sort by import date (as opposed to the publish date) or a way to filter out things that have been imorted in the current Calibre session?

Thanks.

Calibre's "Date" field is the import date, if no other date was on the book when imported. Sorting by that date should work. It's separate from the publish date.
You can also tell Calibre to automatically add a tag when book is imported, then remove it later.

I use the automatic tag feature to add a tag "00new".
A quick Search: tag:00new, lets me see how far I am behind

When I am done Reviewing and Fixing, I remove the tag from the book.

Ah, ok thanks!
