Newbie to Calibre here trying to get a grip. I have amassed a large ebook library for me (over 6k books) by getting free ebooks from Amazon for my Kindle Fire. Freebooksifter helps me, and I love its simple layout with "number of ratings" and "average star". Having both these gives me a good feel for how good the book is. Any writer's friends could post a couple of 5 star reviews for his or her book and make it look good, but 50+ reviews might give a better feel imho.

I see that Calibre uses the star rating, but is there a way to get the "number of ratings" numbers into a column so I can sort both by number of stars and number of reviews.

I apologize if this question has been asked before, but hope any helpful replies aid both myself and any others with this need.

Thanks
