    Sorry if it was already covered, I checked the reading list tutorial but it was not there.
    How do I sort the items in the reading list in descending order of which one updated latest, e.g.
    Item 1 updated latest with chapter X
    Item 2 updated before that with chapter Y
    etc
    Now by default they are sort of sorted like that, but not really. Like right now I have two novels that have updated today on top, but also another novel that I know for sure has updated later than after those two novels.
    When I click on the "latest release" field it just gets weird. it got me a novel that updated on the seventh of May to the top of the list for some reason.
    So, how do I sort these entries?

    I never really sort on date. I have always sorted things alphabetically, but as far as I know you can sort on latest release date by :

    -Going to reading list
    -Click on 'list settings' on top
    -Select 'latest' at 'list sorting'
    -Save settings

    If I'm incorrect I assume you (or someone else) will correct me.

    and that's the thing, it doesn't seem to sort correctly. I just checked again, it put two series that came out before the two below them in the releases too.

    there is the visible date and the sorted date. some stuff gets "kicked" back a day when a group spams 10+ releases a day. other times releases get added in the wrong order and fixing that requires changing the sort day to organize them.
