Prior art it isn't, but...

"Since multiplicity of helpful order among specific subjects is a fact
independent of library classification - a fact to be reckoned with in
arrangement - how are we to provide for it? It is a case of arranging
concrete materials - books and other kindred materials - in such a way
that one kind of arrangement presents itself to one person and another
kind to another person. To secure this by pressing a button is obviously
possible only in the world of fancy; it is not possible in the world of
reality."
