Our book club has been in existence for 14 years. I use the "Date field" in Calibre as the date of the club meeting. As I see it, the only thing the Date field is used for is in the C2O "Recent Additions" catalog which gives Previous 2 months, Previous 6 Months, Previous Year, More than one Year, categories, which have respectively 1, 2, 3, 88, books. Obviously this is not a reasonable partitioning, but I can't figure out how to change it. But the 88 books in "More than one Year" category appear with a heading like "17/10 - <booktitle>" for the 17th of October of one of the 13 years! Which year? I also can't figure out how to tell C2O to use "DD/MM/YYYY-<booktitle>" which would allow us to figure out the date of the meeting we discussed that book.
I did record each book as a sequential volume in the same series, so the "Series" catalog gives a listing of the books in the chronological sequence and numbered consecutively (thanks to the automatic increment feature of Calibre).
I am sure I am overlooking something simple, bc this is such an obvious need, so others must have filled it somehow. I look forward to solutions.
