I spell out numbers when I want to emphasize them.
Take George Orwell for example:

I used to work in a library, and I hate this. We used to have both a “2001: a space Odyssey” and a “two thousand and one: a space oddesey”, sorted based on the spelling.

Those are for academic books, not novels. And you’d still sort everything within a category alphabetically by author and then by title (usually)
