Hi Kovidgoyal,
I think there are a lot of people that would like to have this feature i.e. to be able to sort via drag-and-drop with the mouse on some arbitrary criteria mimicking what happen when you rearrange the books on the shelf.
May be in Calibre should come with a built-in column named for example
"arbitrary sorting" that will be automatically set to a number each time you manually sort books with the mouse.
It is up to the user to choose this "arbitrary sorting" column or any other metadata column to sort the books.
Could you please give some suggestions/sample code on hiw to implement this feature?
What programming language you have to use?
Thanks
Marc
