Hi All. Newb here. Hopefully this is the correct subforum.

Pretty open ended question...
I have nearly a thousand digital books in various formats. I want to organize then by topic. I googled and found how to make custom groups of Tags. This seems to work, but process is taking forever!

(Also, many of the "Tags" are things that were put into the tab field by accident, which is not helpful.)

It would be nice if the User Category Editor could, for example, highlight all of the items that contain the string "psy." Then I could put all the matches, en mass, into the Applied Items list on the right. Alas, that doesn't work. Are there any other tricks or tips to making this easier?

Or more broadly, is there a better way for me to organize my books?
