Album Filing System

I am debating, with myself, how I should file my albums. I am considering filing all albums alphabetically by artist or separate the audiophile LP's from the general LP's. Example, as my largest audiophile label is MFSL I would separate them from the Analogue Productions, Chesky's, Classic Records, ORG, Speakers Corner etc. and than file the general LP's alphabetically. Also I would have a separate section for mono.
My thinking is if I file all alphabetically I may listen to more of the general LP's.
Any thoughts without going all "High Fidelity" on me!!
Thanks!

No fair. You cannot ask such a nerdy question and at the same time rule out the quintessential nerdy answer!

One shelf for Mono, another for classical, the rest alphabetical.

Trying to focus on the music rather than the recording, I file by musical genre, then alphabetical by artist within genres, and generally chronologically within each artist.  At least in theory -- I probably bat about 90% in following my own system.
Happy listening.

uberwaltz12, millercarbon, ericsh, dawgfish ~ Thanks!

Decided to go with:
MFSL section by #. 
Audiophile section by label/alphabetically within label.
Mono section alphabetically.
General LP section alphabetically.
May do a Soundtrack and Import section, both alphabetically.

#1 on discogs. I have a start with 766 cataloged so far and a whole bunch more to go.....I add to discogs when I clean/listen so the process has been slow.
