I am totally blown away by how well this works.  What is everyone's take on
it?  Are some of you who previously sorted by form now sorting by color as
well?  Vice-versa?  What experiences have you had in switching from one
organization method to another?  How frequently do some of you change sorting
methods?

I started out sorting by color, then resorted to form (because the
arguments for it sounded so LOGICAL), then found I hated having things
sorted that way and went back to by color. I now have enough basic
bricks that they have to be sorted by color AND size (ziploc bags inside
cardboard lingerie drawers <g>, one drawer per color except white which
needs 2 drawers).

I do keep my non-basic bricks sorted by form: I have a tub of windows &
doors, a tub of fences/seats/flags/poles/railings, a tub of vehicle and
airplane stuff, a drawer of minifigs and accessories, a drawer of
vegetation, 2 drawers of slopes (separated into colors and angles inside
the drawer), etc.

...after almost a year of sorting by form and functionality. That's more than 30,000 Lego pieces, sorted by color into about a dozen plastic drawers measuring roughly 11 x 13 x 3 inches. (1) Oh no! It's so hard to find The-Piece-I-Need now! (...) (25 years ago, 4-Nov-99, to lugnet.build)
