How do you sort your LPs?

No one has mentioned this method, but I think that it’s genius. I had a childhood friend who simply kept his records sorted in order of acquisition. The advantage is that he never had to shuffle them around them to add new records. (This task becomes ever more tedious as your collection grows.) And because each album was always in the same location, it was surprisingly easy for him to get to a particular record.

Many times I have regretted my attempt to keep my own collection sorted alphabetically by artist. There are many issues that arise which make that simple task more difficult than it sounds.

With Classical being the exception (I don’t have too many Classical LPs because I got no class), all LPs are in alphabetical order. First letter, ignore “The”.For example, The Doors are in D. The Cars, C. Thelonious Monk, T. ZZ Top, That’s a tough one. Do i go with the first Z or the second one?
Anyway, this works well for me. Especially since I finally found a psychedelic, fluorescent, astrological sex position, alphabet poster. 

Just like almost everything else in audio there seems to be a diverse set of opinions, methods or philosophies applied to LP sorting. Who would of guessed that :) Thanks for the good ideas.

I like the idea of having an area or section to queue LPs. My current loose method needs a little work. Weeding out the "unlikely to be used again" LPs will help too.

Thanks.

Wow thats a though one.

New Arrivals/The Rest-Sometimes regret this when hunting for something in particular but generally works well. I have gone through alphabetical, genre, but found this overall gave me the best listening possibilities. My only misgiving was it difficult to discover misappropriation although it's less of a problem in my later years.
