I understand that the date added is taken as the date ABS scans and adds the book to the library. But it would be nice to have a setting that allows this order to be taken from folder modification dates, especially when a new library is created.

I make my to-read/listen list based on the latest books I have added into my audibook folder, but because of the existing method, I can't really (or easily) know which books I uploaded recently (and hence wanted to read them next).

Cheers.
