Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The "Read Books" browse view currently only offers the same generic sort options available everywhere else in the app: Date Added (book date), Publication Date, Title, and Author (ascending/descending). There's no way to sort read books by when they were actually finished, which is the most natural way to browse a reading history/log.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a sort option to the "Read Books" view (and ideally the underlying book_read_link logic generally) based on the date the book's read status was last set to "read". Looking at the schema, book_read_link already has a last_modified column that gets updated whenever read_status changes — this seems like it could back a "Sort by date finished, newest/oldest first" option without needing new database fields.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Manually adding a custom Calibre column (e.g. via a KOReader sync plugin) to track a finished date, then sorting via the "Books List" table view. This works, but it's a workaround: it requires an external plugin, isn't native to CWA, and doesn't integrate with the "Read Books" view or its filtering.
- I also don't have a clean way to distinguish "date added" from "date I actually finished it" in the main list, which matters when building a reading log/history rather than just browsing a library.
Additional context
This would be especially useful in combination with the recently added native KOReader sync feature — if CWA is already tracking when a book crosses 100% progress, using that same event to drive this sort would make the "Read Books" view function as a proper reading history/log, similar to a "recently finished" feed.
