For instance, you can setup a custom field for the main subject matter of your books. eg subjectshow. So if the subjectshow is topicA and another subject show is topicB you can have the save template setup to save the books by main subjectshow. and use author_sort to list the authors by lastname, firstname.

Either of the above proposals are quick and easy solutions to the OPs problem. This way folders and books in Dropbox will be sorted exactly how the OP desires without doing any surgery on the calibre library.
