I have checked through all of the settings available and documentation but so far haven't figured out how to use the custom columns functionality to be able to sort in this fashion.
Even if you can’t sort in calibre-web by a custom column, you can search by the sounds of things. If it allows expressions like #pages < 200 then you could use that to at least find the smaller books. And you could always go a step further with an additional custom column that categorises the books into page ranges so you can then filter by that instead.

None of that is relevant to this plugin thread though, this discussion should be moved elsewhere. As Terisa said Count Pages this is a calibre gui plugin, you have to have calibre running pointing at your calibre database to use it. Then by the sounds of it you run calibre-web to also point to the same database and configure it to display the custom column. It shouldnt be more difficult than that.
