I think the majority of people agree that sorting pieces by type is much
better than by color. After a while though, you get so many colors of the same
type that you have to buy more containers and separate those same type pieces
by color too.
In general, I've found that wide shallow drawers do the best for sorting.
A shallow drawer lets you see more of what's there without digging too much.
It also has to be wide in order to hold all of what you have plus anything
that you'll accumulate before you die. (That may seem a little morbid to put
it that way, but whenever I buy containers for certain types of pieces, I ask
myself, "Self, will this hold all of that certain kind of piece that I have
plus whatever I'll buy for the rest of my life?")
Of course, there are so MANY types of pieces that you might want to get
many types of containers. Baseplates are wide and thin. Technic axle stoppers
are itsy bitsy. Sometimes your work/play area can make a difference too.
Me? I keep all mine in an Uncle Scrooge-type vault. (Anybody remember
Duck Tales?)
