I'm assuming that as you haven't responded to this question, it is not possible or not worth your while?

I'm not sure what you mean. How does Android support multiple users?

I don't know if iOS CC supports long press, but if not you can probably do the same thing with search.

I decided to separate my libraries into one for books and one for comics. But I have heard from others that it is better to have one library with virtual libraries instead.

I will have a fiddle and see if the virtual library works for one library although what is the best solution? And could I do this just with a custom column. I would like to sort by type, i.e Book or Comic

1. Just have a custom column in Calibre with Book or Comic and use that custom column in CC to sort them into those two categories. If I only use a custom column, would this limit my other sorting abilities. I note that CC doesn't let you sort by multiple columns. Whereas Calibre will let you sort by multiple fields/columns/tags right like format > author > tag?
   
2. Or sort by using a virtual library. In your FAQ, How do I see/use my calibre virtual libraries in CC? mentions how I can do this by adding a custom column to the book listing the virtual libraries the book is in. If I set it up this way, would I be able to sort further once I was in the comic virtual library? For example, click on the comic virtual library and then search by language and then fantasy.

In other words what is the difference from using the virtual library in the custom column from just using a custom column only for filtering the two types? Or am I not understanding sorting properly. Hope that makes sense...
