I just ran across the results of a poll that asked 29,000 Americans

to report that there are people who have absolutely no organizational

who sort
their books by color. Color!

I could read the link, I suppose, but I wonder how many people actually
have a sufficient number of books such that they need to be organized.

Whoops - I thought I hit "draft" while I looked it up, but instead I
must have hit "publish by accident" ... anyhow:
That is indeed a point mentioned in the article:
"One in five Americans (20%) say they own between one and 10 physical
books, while 14% own between 11 and 25 books, and 13% between 26 and 50."

If they are young and have mostly ebooks, they may be fans of control f.
Several of my young co-workers rely on search over organization. No
proper file structure to organize files, just one big folder.
They're also sometimes unfamiliar with old time chronological slang,
so it's best to avoid quaint phrases like "quarter to three,
daddio! *finger-snapping*" for "two forty five."
