It depends on the display mode and on the Theme (at least on the PB360).
Check the screencaps in the Themes thread.
In list mode or easy mode you can scroll down a page or flip pages side to side. Easy mode allows 28 book listings per screen on the PB360 so a 200 book list only takes 6-7 screen flips. Hardly onerous.
Now, Easy mode is not available with all themes (I favor "FIVE", myself, because it hides all but the 5 key icons and maximizes the "recently Read" list on the home screen.)
As for sorting by title, that is achieved by *substituting* the metadata title string for file name in the listing. You get to choose one or the other and it is done in the compilation of the display screen. If you look carefully, the reader is oh-so-very-slightly slower in building up a booklist when its enabled. It would be nice to be able to sort by all the various metadata tags. But we might not like the price for it...
