I believe that this is really only an issue with the column type "column built from other columns".

Perhaps you could start a new thread in the "Library Management" subforum to get some suggestions on this specific conundrum.

Going to title it Type BookType something like that.

You get the idea, so much easy when deciding what to read or sorting, to see what you have when you can sort by book type.

I thought about doing it that way, but I ended up going with genres mostly because of my Kindle. Building the type into the genre works best for my Collections management. But that mostly has to do with the way I read - I start with an idea of what type of thing I want to read (ex, short horror story or maybe a vampire anthology), and I have to be able to find it easily. I find myself needing that ability more on the Kindle than within calibre.
However, if my selection of non-standard types grows, I might add a column to help things on that end too. So you've given me something to think about down the road.
