I've long wanted to sort my ebook collection by Library of Congress or Dewey Decimal classification, even though public libraries don't typically do this AFAICT.
I use an app called CLZ Books to catalog physical books. It can scan ISBN bar codes or look things up by title/author, then it adds a bunch of metadata that they have accumulated. This usually includes LoC and DD classifications.
I'm planning to export my calibre database into CLZ Books, then let it add metadata, then export it and see if there's some way to import this back to calibre, use it as a sort key, and possibly generate reports out of this.
There's no way to sort a book list when a book has multiple tags, and having some way to visit virtual shelves that group things as they would if they were shelved in a library seems like it would be fun and interesting.
