I see, sort has multiple meanings here. I was talking about renaming/retagging/etc of a large set imported into Calibre, not about browsing through a populated library. Content Server is not suitable for that purpose.
In my experience, there are a few typical "accidents" that I had to recover from - a couple books got renamed to "v" (you can guess how); on a few occasions I've accidentally pressed "retrieve metadata from format" button on the edit dialog without actually realizing it; and my pet peeve - book merge is prone to user errors even with the confirmation dialog. Not only that, there is no easy way to split back merged formats. Database snapshot is not much of a help here as actual files get moved.
I am typically just adding a tag "sorted" to those books I should not touch anymore but a locking mechanism would be much nicer. As an extension, once I am done editing the metadata on all books it would be nice to switch the UI into "read-only" mode - that would prevent those books renamed to "v" for one thing.
