I just hate it when people say never sort by color.  Sorting by color is
okay depending on the size of your collection.  After building a few things
sort out the hard to find pieces or pieces that you use the most.

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.
