My goodness me. One would almost assume that classification systems for books don't exist! (snark aimed at bookshops - not you!)
But then again, Dewey and Library of Congress classification costs a fair bit of money to licence.
My opinion - sort by subject apart from popular series such as the Dummies. If subject isn't simple (or there are no specialist staff), then better to sort by author or similar than do a bad job of sorting by subject. At least then with computer catalogues the books are findable.
