Fairly related to Conceptual colour order, where you order the books by the colours stated or insinuated in the title. But here you also put in categories e.g. titles that are emotions, titles that are proper names, titles that have numbers in them, and so on. Maybe you can have a section for titles that are adjective+noun (as that is very common), and subdivide them into definite and indefinite, plural and singular. As usual, the system will have to be adapted to your particular collection of books.
I tried this one, and am a little ashamed to say I gave up when I stood there with an armful of books that didn't know where they wanted to go. And another armful that weren't entirely pleased with where I'd put them. And another handful that raised their eyebrows and pointed out that their titles were intentionally ambiguous. And many categories which consisted of only 2 or 3 books.
That's the problem with imperfect systems. They will be imperfect.
