The software could easily be written to make this take much less time, and to take almost no time if they gave us a desktop app so we could organize the books on the desktop and then move them to the e-reader, already organized.

You tag the books the books in
Calibre on a desktop PC. You can add as many tags as you like. Then when you send the book or document to your Kobo via Calibre, each tag will be associated with a collection.
So if you have ten thousand books on a device and you only use five tags to categorize all those books, of course it will be unwieldy. But there is nothing stopping you from tagging
Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep as Mystery, Private Eye, Hardboiled, Pulp, Books I want to read in the next three weeks... etc. Then on your Kobo, The Big Sleep will show up in each of those collections.
In addition, it will also show that it is book 1 in the Philip Marlowe series (or whatever you choose to call the series) and it will show if you sort by author and choose Raymond Chandler.
