To clarify, I mean don't sort *only* by color. Putting 6x16 plates in
with 1x1 bricks and everything in between, all of one color, makes it
a lot harder to find something. It sounds from your description that
you yourself sort by size/shape, so what's your objection?
The thing is, it's a lot of work to set up a sorting system. I don't
think the original poster would end up being happy with the results if
he sorted only by color. Sorting by type of piece would be a more
useful way to spend his time.
