I am currently in the process of re-sorting most of my collection. I have
been using a variety of storage systems. I have the containers for the bulk
bricks and various size tilt bins for the more smaller parts.

I know some people don't like the tilt bins, but I love them. They work
well, open easy and give me easy access.

As for how to sort, I've been first sorting out bricks, slopes and plates.
Then I've sub-sorted the elements from there into color and size. A lot of
my unsorted bricks are currently in 60 gallon tubs:

I hope by the end of the winter to have all of it sorted....but of course my
6 year old son will unsort a great deal of it by then.

Please include links to pictures, explanations as to how you made your choice
and just how far down does your sorting go (i.e. "Every brick has it's bin" or
"All red bricks are in 1 container"). I figured I'd ask here first so as to get
a good idea of WHERE to even start ;-)
