A lot of file downloads come with file names that follow a specific format. Extract data from this such as performers, tags, dates, keywords, etc, and allow searching by those, sorting by them, and displaying them in dedicated columns.
An example file name is:
[Release group 1, Release group 2] Actor name 1, Actor name 2 (Movie name, 2020.01.10) [Tag1, Tag2, Tag3, Tag4].mkv
Then you could have a column for Actor Name and sort by that:
eg. if there's a movie with Anna, Avril, and Jane, a second movie with Bob and a third movie with Mary, then the output after sorting by actor name would be:
Anna, Avril, Jane
Bob
Jane, Anna, Avril
Mary
(the first movie shows up twice because it can be put in different places in the sorted list. however, the first two actresses - Anna and Avril - would make it occupy neighboring spots twice, so those get collated)
Similarly you could have a column for the date, and a column for the release groups, and for tags.
And you could have a search dialog where you could click checkboxes next to tags to only display files with those tags.
