Well, I suspect there will be certain degree of trial-and-error regardless;
what works for me might now work for you, and vice versa. :)

I think that most people, as their collection grows, end up sorting by size
and color, in varying degrees of complexity.

I tend to sort by "catagory" first.  I'll keep all the plates in one place,
regardless of color.  As that starts to get hard to find things in, I'll
break it up: i.e.: 6 by n plates, 4 x n plates and smaller.

The easiest thing I can think of to speed up finding things is to sort
specialty parts out of the bricks.

hope that helps,

James
