Alex,
The technique used depends on the size of your collection. After a certain
point, putting all of a color in a bin becomes excessively difficult to use
especially with black. Obviously the "perfect" sort would have all pieces
sorted by part then by color. The only thing is it is very expensive to get
enough storage for for each piece/color plus the space to store all of that.
So you will need to figure out your own compromise. Remember, the more
granular you sort the more bins you need to access when you build.
If you read through the .storage newsgroup, you will find a lot of answers
to your questions.
Good Luck,
Jude
