Storing Franchises

[levcore]

How do you choose do this if they A) Don't go in chronological and alphabetical order and B) If the spines don't match due to packaging or different studios?

Ideally i would like my franchises to all be stored in chronological order (box sets excluded obviously as they are already this way). However i am a pedant and like to have my collection arranged in order of studio. I also keep my slipcases and steelbooks separate to the rest. It doesn't really work when it comes to some franchises though. For example, the Resident Evil's. I Have Resident Evil on it's own as it's the only Pathe title i have, I have Resident Evil Extinxtion and Apocalypse in the section for Sony releases and i have Resident Evil Afterlife and Resident Evil Degeration in the slipcase section. So they're scattered all over! Tell me this isn't me being ridiculously pedantic!
