Until recently, I didn't. But I'm currently attempting to sort by colour.
Yellow, red, blue, white, light grey and black each get their own tub, and the
newer, less common colours like brown, green, and tan are probably going to
stay mixed together. It is not very hard to find pieces in a tub with a large
open top. If you use a bag, it might be harder. The reason I am not sorting
by piece is because there are hundreds of different pieces and each would be
sepearted into a rather small bag. If I lost a bag, my entire supply of that
piece would be gone! I currently have three sorted tubs: red, yellow, and
"white and formerly white" parts.
