After some thought, I decided I am willing to entertain one alternate number grouping. It would be controlled by an option in Settings / Grouping Drawer.

The question: this alternate grouping should be exactly what? Number log 10? Some arbitrary ranges based on magnitude, such as by 10; 20; 50; 100; 200; 500; 1,000; 2,000; 5,000; 100,000; 200,000; 500,000; 1,000,000; 2,000,000; 5,000,000; 10,000,000, 100,000,000? Or something else? Do negative numbers need to be grouped differently? And so on.

Note that the range of a number in calibre is -1,000,000 to 100,000,000

Please comment if you have any interest. I don't want to end up here again.
