I've thought about checking those out. I have a feeling they would be
too small to be useful. The ideal sorting tray is about 12"x18" and 2"
deep, divided into 6-25 compartments. For some stuff, a larger tray,
15"x25" and 4" deep with 6-10 compartments is valuable.
The key to efficient sorting is lots of compartments, and regularity is
good. My "small plates" tray, a 24 compartment Advent Calendar tray, can
be used almost without sight since I've trained my hands to know which
bin is which - this tray has compartments for almost every small special
plate and tile (though the ones which still go in 3700 Plano boxes all
go into one compartment).
