Home Depot has clear screw sorting bins for $4.25. Not to be confused with
the more expensive ones. They have two rows of six bins, one row of 4 bins
and 1 row of 2 and the dividers aren't adjustable. These things are
inexpensive and sort pieces rather quickly. I have four for each color. 1
holds 1x(1,2,3,4) and 2x(2,3,4)plates; the second holds
2x(6,8,10,12+)plates, 4x(4,6)plates, and all tiles; the third holds all
"moving" parts (hinges and brackets); and the fourth holds all 1x2 modified
plates. For other parts like slopes...I'm still working on that.
