How do you arrange the order of your records?

@clearthinker Sweet story. Enjoyed that. Discogs is great but I do miss the record shops of 40 years ago. We spent hours in them. It's probably why I have my records stored in record store format instead of library book format. 

My partner and I used to have over 1,000 DVDs and BluRays. She was in charge of filing them… she had them broken down into a dozen categories then alphabetical across six big wall storage units. I could never find a thing. She would say, “It is in Action.? Where is that? She would reply under Fantasy. I would say, where is that? The whole over classified mess was incomprehensible to me. 

Jazz albums are “albums” so they go with everything else, alphabetically.

Thats everything except:

Classical music are not “albums,” so they are separate, arranged chronologically by composer (Pachelbel, Vivaldi, Bach at beginning, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, La Monte Young at the end)

There is a small 3rd grouping of soundtracks, Christmas music, and comedy LPs.

Because I have such a healthy amount of Mancini, I put all of his soundtrack LPs with the main stack.

Pop/Rock/Folk together. Alphabetical by artist.

Jazz/Blues/Hip Hop together. Alphabetical by artist.

Soundtracks together by movie title.

Mobile Fidelity titles together.

Vinyl Me Please titles together.

Box sets.

No-one mentioned 'autobiagraphical'?
