Check out
custom composite columns, metadata plugboards and the
View Manager plugin.
Personally, I used a plugboard to fill book titles with this when sent to my devices:
Code:
{series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|[|] - }{title}{#wordcount:| (|)}{tags:| [|]}
I use both custom composite columns and View Manager for my everyday library management in calibre. I have my favorite two views in View Manager hotkeyed to <space> and <ctrl-space>.
