Depending how how you use the number, you might also want to turn on auto-sort for that column and show the numeric value in the list view (Settings / Customize the book list / Extra information in the book list). That would simplify scanning the values in a partition if you are looking for something in particular.
Eh, I would say that this is still an order of magnitude too small of a graduation (for example, if I want to scroll to anything longer than 10K words, I need to pass by up to 100 different categories with just a handful of books in each as opposed to just 10. Or, once you get past 100K, it makes no difference if it is 120K or 125K or even 150K, for example.
I do have all sorts of different sorting set up, and I do show a lot of info in the book list, but it would still be nice to be able to group everything a bit more effectively.
