"Sort by colour" is my standard suggestion whenever people ask how they should sort their record collection, their book shelf or whatever. What they usually want by asking that question is to get some firm guidance on how to divide their stuff into genres, but I find such a thing silly since they'll always end up with items that fall into several (or no) categories. One person's "folk rock" may be another person's "country". "Enya may be rave to me," as a famous Swedish tv commercial puts it. The most rational way is alphabetical of course, but that isn't as clear cut as you may think either, since several artists (like Enya for example) use their first name as their artist name. Should they be filed under that, while everyone else is filed under last name? Even if the last name is widely known? (Brennan, in this case. Or "Ni Bhraon�in" if you follow the Irish spelling). However you sort it, there will always be hard-to-solve cases like that. So you may as well sort by the colour of the edge of the sleeve. anders ------------------------- http://anders.hultman.nu/ med dagens bild och allt!
