Download the excel speadsheet and sort by whichever...(default is Record Number)
I usually first sort by style/speed - trance, house, etc... cheese - then sort by record label/number within each case...
I find it easy to find records like that. |

At home: A-Z by artist, with an Excel spreadsheet listening 'em all by artist/title/label/remix/key. Comes in very useful when I need a particular track in a particular key, as I've over 1000 records. ;)
Playing out: by key, starting at the front of the box with C and then with Db behind C, continuing to rise chromatically upwards until you reach B at the back. Matches the keys of a piano, which makes it easiest for me to locate the right record at the right time. :D |

ah :(
I have mine unsorted, just stored randomly, I have some in my sister's room where my PC is at the moment (still building and setting up her own PC atm and not finished the networking), I have some in the understairs cupboard and I have almost all in my bedroom, you have to see pics guys, its fecking mad :| - I am eventually planning on sorting by label I would say, label is probably the best way of sorting them, I have over 2800 of the bastards and its SO hard to find something right now :( mind you the most newest stuff is kept by my decks in my sister's room atm. |

Makes sense for you to do it that way...you almost have to archive your collection!
I've got mine in 3 rows 120-130, 130-140, and 140+ |

Right now since my collection is somewhat managable, I usually put my favorite 10 tracks first in the case, then intro/buildup tracks, then peak tracks, then closeout/epic tracks. If there's room I'll put in some classic stuff just in case.
I like the Excel idea though. It'll come in handy when I amass a bigger collection. |

I know it makes no sense at all, but I put them in the order I bought them. It sounds weird but I don't have much trouble - I guess I'm just used to it.
Over the holidays I made a spreadsheet with all my records on it. I've had a few incidents of buying the same record twice, which really pissed me off. If I'm buying records online it comes in handy. |
