Y'know, I'm too stupid to have thought of that. I sorted in piles by sequence numbers.
Izzy, that sentence hurt my brain! But if you're saying what I think you're saying, there's absolutely no reason why you can't organize the books exactly that way in calibre. That's the whole point: you can do anything with calibre's organization (particularly tagging) that you can with a filesystem, and you can do an almost infinite number of things with calibre that you couldn't begin to do with a mere filesystem. People saying "I don't want calibre to do what it does; I want it to go back to a primitive way of doing it" remind me of people saying "I don't want my computer to have files; I want to do direct disk access!" That's what calibre is: books instead of files, the way a filesystem is files instead of blocks. If you want less abstraction, an abstract program -- be it your OS or calibre -- is not going to be what you want.
