I guess that I am old fashioned since I arrange my books by the pile.
How do you say "I don't read books" without saying so? https://www.etsy.com/listing/888704204/bookcase-perfection-single-book-by

A podcast once broached the topic: "How do you order your comics collection?" which really touched a nerve and had provided feedback for about every installment since then. One respondent admitted that for reprint collections, they sometimes have to be
shelved by height. The podcasters did admit that some reprint books are tall enough to need a special shelf, but hoped that, within that height grouping, they were ordered sensibly. My first impulse was to find a way to justify ordering secondarily by
page span, then thickness. (I dropped this idea when I realized writing in about the actual way I organize my comics would raise more eyebrows.) I think I can make it make sense. Since many collections are paperbacks, and you want to avoid they ends
of the pages fanning out, don't store them with the spines all aligned with the front of the shelf, but with the open ends aligned at the back of the shelf, each helping keep the other open ends from opening up. With the spines uneven, a cleaner slope
rather than a randomly alternating one would be easier to read. You would probably want to go from narrower to wider spines allowing for a wider title next to the the next-shortest book with the wider pages.
