# Database content management plugins?

 * I am looking for a hack or plugin to help me manage bulk content. for example,
   lets say I use WordPress to manage a website that has an inventory of books. 
   What I was planning on doing was creating categories for the common headings,
   Author, Title, etc… I would enter each book as a post, then I would want to be
   able to display a list of them on a page, either alphabetically or by some other
   sort order… I figured I would need a page for Author, a page for Title, etc… 
   in order to display the proper content on each page…
 * First of all, I am not sure if categories and posts are the proper choice, and
   second, I am not able to accomplish what I want with the standard install…
 * Can someone help out with a plugin or suggest a hack? Maybe link to a tutorial
   or code example?
 * I hope this makes sense…
 * Thanks!!

 * Well, I wonder that we don’t have success finding a database plugin for content
   management. I believe there are many needs and it would be phantastic if someone
   of the cracks would help creating a solution.
    I think problem description is
   easy. Data should be stored in a flat list with a header line. Retrieval of data
   should be supported by sort and filter functions applicable on each of the fields
   within the list. Since I am using heavily EXCEL, the functionality offered there
   seems to be exactly what we are looking for. HELP, please! Even I would become
   a true fan of our hero. Thanks, Paul
