In the "Your books" tab, the number of LibraryThing members with an item in their collections is displayed in the block of UI elements that appears at the rightmost edge of the view, but this information is not available as a column to by which to sort or filter. I'm interested to know which of my books are rarest and which are the most common on LibraryThing, but determining this is currently very tedious.

It is sortable as one of the options within the button in the top bar, hit that and then: Sort by, Total members.
Or are you saying you know it's there, just you would like it to be a one-click like the column sorting is?

>2 Nevov: My guess is that he didn't know that, as it hardly can be described as "very tedious" (it's quite quick and easy).
I'd also like to make thefringthing aware of the group Recommend Site Improvements.

I wasn't aware that it's included as an item in the "Edit Sort Order" menu, that's very helpful! I do still object to this interface being different from the one which sets which columns to show, since the columns are themselves a second sort order UI.

The problem for using the column-head sort method for number of users with the work is that that's a special column that has multiple things in it - number of users and number of reviews are the sortable ones, but it also has various edit options - so they can't use the same UI for it.
