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?

There are are approximately 3 million
active users of calibre. I've been a member here for almost 6 years, and yours is the first request for this feature I've seen. So I'm curious as to the evidence on which you base your assertion "... there are a lot of people that would like to have this feature ...".
Most people would order physical books on shelves by author within genre.
Re which language etc see ==>>
