Kobo Wifi suddenly displays Reading List backwards

amo · 02-08-2012, 01:35 PM

My Kobo Wifi has suddenly taken to displaying the "I'm Reading" list backwards, oldest to newest (i.e. the books I read or uploaded last are at the end of the list, on the second page, instead of at the top of the list as usual). Anybody know what gives, or how to fix it?

Hey there. I have no idea what gives, or how to fix it.

I, too, have had this same thing happen with my WiFi. It started showing up for me after the last time I synched with desktop (about a week ago).

Have you checked the date and time on your ereader and computer? If the date and time on the two devices is not the same, it could explain the results you are getting.

Stop trying to read kobo's reflection in a mirror, then it should look normal.

I never could have figured that out on my own...

I don't use the desktop; I sideload everything through Calibre. But I'll check anyway; can't hurt.

Yeah, it's been about that long for me too. Maybe our Wifi's reached an expiry date?

Hey, whaddaya know, my time was totally off! It said it was February 20th, 2010, at 3:00 PM! And just resetting the time fixed it!! You rock.

So I think what happened was somehow the time got reset to two years ago, and everything I've uploaded or read since got marked as having been collected way earlier than the stuff from last month. So it kept last month's stuff at the top, and threw the new stuff at the bottom of the list because as far as the Kobo was concerned, it was really old.

Mystery solved, with minimal inconvenience. Yey!
