I sort Bricks using LEGO Tubs and Buckets. They are all sorted by type, for
really common sizes like 2x4 and 1x4 I usually split up colors. For example I
put Red, White, and Blue in one tub Black, Yellow, and Green in another and all
other colors in another. So far this works great for me and I don't have to
spend any $$ on additional containers.
For Plates it depends. The really small plates work OK in drawers for larger
plates I use a combination of Drawers sorted by color and type and Bags for
overflow. I do something similar with slopes.
I find I never stop sorting however. As soon as I think I am done I seem to
run out of space and have to come up with another system.

| (...) all (...) Definitely, dual or triple color sorting systems work very well. For example, I sort all 6x plates into Black with Gray, Yellow with White, Blue with Red. Same goes for 4x plates. My 2x and 1x plates are sorted as Red with Black and (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.storage)
