How do you arrange the order of your records?

I kind of solved my storage problem. (I started stacking horizontally)

Found that I could make room in my clothes closet. I also thought that I could make room in the garage for less important LPs.

As for organizing, I am stuck in random mode. Although the wife was just able to quickly find her favorite Andy Williams Sing Hawaiian. Think she knew the bunch.

I can’t fathom how one can deal with many thousands. I have several hundred.

Storage remains a problem. Maybe replace some book shelves. These days I don’t read much.

Not really focused on selecting any particular record, I wonder how you super organized fellows choose what to listen to. Someone mentioned "rotation".

Are favorites placed in separate places? Are particular ones kept in mind among the organized? Or is it still a matter of flipping through and picking one?

Eg.: "I think I will listen to some Jazz." And then think of an artist? How can one remember titles among 12K??

The records between my mono blocks are only there long enough for a rotation of the 10 or so. About 3 days. And my mono blocks are AGD Audions Class D. They run very cool.

Guess I will always prefer random like the shuffle setting on a CD player. Not tracks of a disc but whole albums. I like being surprised and love the variety.

Not to mention the Herculean task of sorting out hundreds of LPs. 
And, overall, the difficulty of choosing with some preference. I tend to love most of my records without much prejudice.
