How do you arrange the order of your records?


I guess some alphabetically. Some by genre. By quality. Etc.
My preference is keeping them randomly arranged. This way I get a nice variety and I don’t have to choose. And it’s always a nice surprise.

I take them out about ten at a time and place them in a dedicated space between my mono blocks.

Alphabetically by first name of a band but by last name if it's a person's name. 

eg, The Black Crowes is before Jackson Browne. ("the" doesn't come into play with my system)

Genre, then artist with the exception of a section containing about 50 of my current, go-to albums with the most recently played disks on the right, so I can mix it up a bit and not over-expose any to the point it needn't be in the go-to section.

 

Chaos.  Hunt and discover.  1500 vinyl and 3500 cds,  all CDs displayed horizontal so the titles can be read in the storage drawers and rack.  If I want a specific disc, I stream it via Quobuz or Idagio.  Hi-rotation CDs make a small pile in a shelf.  I do not have the energy to create an organization.  Having search the vinyl so many times, I have a rough idea where some records are. 

Three groups, single album by Artist/alpha, and multiple albums by Artist/alpha/order of release all mixed genre. Jazz in its own territory.
