How do you arrange the order of your records?

Groups by nothing within. Jazz, rock, blues, classical, misc.

By Genre and then Alphabetical. 

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??

By genre and decades and somewhere things get mixed up but that is the fun of it.

just bought a 3000 classical pressing collection last fall, so i plan on learning more. learning about music is one of the joys of vinyl. 

@mikelavigne , holy cow. Was this from an estate sale or an individual abandoning vinyl for digital? No matter, what a find.

I stream Qobuz to find classical music worth owning.
