Recent purchases in Library

Logos SW library list has ability to sort by Type, Pub date, Language, Title, Author, Last updated, etc., but I want to sort by Date Purchased. The reason is that I'll sometimes buy a book when I don't have time to read it, then maybe a week later when I have time I want to look at what I bought recently, but by that time I can't remember what I bought, so I have to go to another room to get on my PC to look it up, which is a pain so I don't do it, and seldom enjoy the books I buy, and subsequently buy less.

    I like this Feature for the Web App. In the Desktop App and the MobileApps i appreciate the sorting of resources by "last Update" etc

    I personally don't use it, but a workaround would be to tag new books with like mytag:Bought2024-02-09 . I would definitely recommend using that date format, as it will allow for proper sorting. Additional topic: If you tag all items in the library with something (I use mytag:mystuff for all books I bought, and e.g. mytag:myLogosMax for the books and courses coming through the subscription) then the "last updated" view will become much more helpful, as you can easily differentiate between books you owned already that got updated to fix typos or whatever and those books you actually got recently (including PrePubs that shipped so they just appear in the library without any active buying).
