How to explore my library using CalibreSync's filter option?

I'm looking for recommendations on how to explore that library using a combination of author, Series, Tags, and read/unread ... and limit filter options based upon the previously selected filters. Or find a similar way to explore the library.

I don't have a huge library, but it is not exactly small with just over 450 book, and currenlty managed on my computer via Calibre. But I also would like to carry the library in my ereader.

I realize the Calibre Sync has a filter application. But I think I'm missing a step or two.

For instance if I set tags for the genre and a tags of interest in the filter, i'd want to easily see a list of Series that contain books with those tags.

From there I can drill down into the series to expore the actual books.

Or instead of Series, see the list of authors in the library that have books with those tags, and drill down (explore) from there.

Looking at the current interface, I'm not sure this is possible and a feature request would be:
When filter behavior is set to AND or NOT, limit the available filter options to only those available on books that match the current selected filter set.

For example if I select my Fiction tag, then the list of author filters should only show authors that have books tagged with Fiction.

If multiple filters have been selected, then the lists available should be limited to those that currently properly match the combined filter.



Am I missing something and this is possible now (or at least something close)?
How do others do this when traveling (away from the computer)?

The Boox device that I have is using the Android environment (in case that is relevant).

Thanks.
