New ideas are always welcome.

I believe 7, 8 and part of 9 already exist.

Custom columns can be created for any data you wish to store.

This is a current feature of calibre. You can reorder by dragging the columns in the GUI.

The tag browser does this, also the right click menu gives you the similar books feature (see attached).

I'm sure there are many folks interested in something along this line. Currently you can do this by selecting a title then sorting by clicking on the title column. But it would be nice to have something more robust.

Keep the ideas coming.
