Display date uploaded as part of book details?
Is there any way to persuade my Kobo to display the date a book was uploaded as part of the book details it displays?

Manually yes. Add the date as part of the description before side loading.

Thanks!

Now, I'm using Calibre (of course!) so where do I set the description field? Or subtitle? Can I use a metadata plugboard to do this?

Also, how do I change which details are displayed on the Kobo?

And finally, is it possible to sort the book list using any of these values?

The description is put in the comments. You can't sort by the comments. However, you can sort by Date added.

The subtitle can be customized in the Kobo driver settings in Calibre. No, you can't sort by it.

Excellent! I've decided to use the last_modified date, and have set the subtitle like so, which works:
Code:
(Updated: {last_modified:format_date(d MMM yyyy)})
Interestingly enough, it affects all books on the device -- I thought I would need to re-upload all of them!

If you have Automatic Metadata management enabled, those changes will affect the metadata for all uploaded books and update as needed.

I learned that when I first started using the page count and estimated read time columns and all books on my Kobo showed up with those values.

No. You can change any metadata for the books on your Kobo without needing to re-upload them. That's very handy, IMO.

You'll only need to re-upload if you change something in the files themselves.
