Sorting by date in Calibre
Hello,
Is it possible to sort the books by date of publication in Calibre. As there is no specific field for the date, I have not found any way to do this. Thanks in advance. poco06 |

There IS a field for Publication date (the rightmost column in the main screen) so you can click on it to sort by it. However I find that it often ends up not set correctly which restricts its usefulness.

Publication date set from "Get Meta data" is marginal at best. Book (reprint) version, Publisher data vary all over the map. Most of it is Data entry inconsistencies that you will need to normalize. ex. Baen Baen Books Baen Publishing Enterprises <- the official name The pull down list helps More complicated are the imprints do you record? TOR TOR Horror TOR Fantasy TOR SF or TOR Science Fiction Some entries even include the Parent company name Penguin Putnam A major Pain. |
