As a general observation, the viability of various organizational 
systems depends on the number of books to be organized. What works 
reasonably well for a few hundred books -- e.g. sorting by the author's 
last name -- may be problematic for a collection with a few thousand 
books and completely unworkable for a collection that contains tens of 
thousands of books.
