			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I have a bunch of orgainizers, and I sort by part (except for bricks, those are sorted by color).  When I'm building, I find that I want a certain part but I usually don't know what color I want yet.  I tried sorting by color once (before I started brickfilming), but that didn't work because it was hard to find the part I wanted.  Especially the small ones, which were buried under all the larger parts.  I don't have all my pieces sorted yet, though.

With minifigs, I have torso and leg combinations on a few baseplates.  I put headgear and extra legs in organizer bins and older and more common torsos in a bin.  I put minifig heads on small baseplates stacked by similar facial features (glasses, facial hair, ect.), which is called the "Forest of Heads" technique.  0ld Scratch does something similar.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I sort my bricks by color in drawers and bins, and organize my minifig parts into storage drawers; I further organize my minifig heads by Paleface, normal (yellow), and other (skeleton heads, orc heads, etc.) [This is mainly due to Palefaces: Battle for Dominance, but it does make minifigs easier to create]. I hope to someday organize by bricks by the brick type instead of by color, or perhaps by both type and color for bricks I have a lot of, but considering how long it took to sort them by color, I probably won't :P]]></content>

Also, I think this thread would better fit in the Bricks section.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[This is the thread where you share how you sort your pieces. I'll start with me:

I keep my bricks and minifigures separate, so I'm starting with my bricks. 
I have a small rolling "dresser" that I keep most of my bricks in:

For my minifigures, I separated the pieces and put them in individual bags... (Along with a few other pieces)

And hung the bags on a rack I built out of TinkerToys:

(Sorry for the fuzzy picture)

Check out my flickr set for more pictures: [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/mightywanderer/sets/72157628654078695/[/url]

Now I want to get ideas from how [u]you[/u] sort. ;)

Edit: Hopefully this isn't too much like the "Post Pictures of your studio" thread, but I wanted a thread just for sorting purposes.]]></content>
