Oasis Sort Error

I have my Oasis 3 setup to show as List and sort by Recent. Most books follow that setting but there are about 6 books that always are at the top. All 6 are by the same author (Keith Pearson). Sometimes they will even push my current book to page 2 if I go back to the Home screen. All books are AZW3 loaded through Calibre. I can't figure out what is so special about these books. I have removed them, reloaded them, then added new books afterwards. Still, they keep popping back to the top of the list.

It is not a major problem but I am very curious about what would be causing this.

Any chance the creation date in Calibre is in the future or blank?

Nope, good thought though. All six have a date of 18 Aug 2019. They also don't show up at the top of the list in Calibre if sorted by Date.

Does your Oasis have the correct date and time?

The time is correct. I don't see a setting for date. Still, that wouldn't explain what makes these 6 special.

Again, this isn't a big deal but it has me scratching my head.

Kindles remove time drift when airplane mode is turned off and they are connected to a wifi or phone network, but if left in airplane mode for a long time, the time drifts.

The only thing I can think of is that the p_lastAccess column in the cc.db collections database has bogus values for those books.
