It isn't the sorting. It is all the other things that need to be done to get the data that needs to be sorted. You need to read it from the books, store it in the database, read it from the database, put it in the appropriate structure and I'm sure lots of other things. Which includes handling the syncing books from the server. And make sure you don't break anything. Then you have to test it.

Yes, I was probably being dramatic. But, it is not a simple task and would take a large enough effort that it could be hard to justify.
