I do mine by my rating...the "10's" are in one drawer and the others are kind of randomly stacked lol.

I'm too busy watching them to finally sort them yet.

I have a question on organizing

With the letter A (A Few Good Men, A Nightmare on Elm Street, etc etc) and THE, how do you oranize those? I have not decided what how to orangize it, thanks!

If I considered my Blu's as part of my home decor, I can maybe see the point in organizing them by studio and keeping the ones with slipcovers together and so on. I own quite a few Blu's and for me it would be hard to remember which studio put out Rambo or how long it would take me to realize that my copy of Lost season 3 did not come with a slipcover and is therefore not with my other seasons but rather next to my slipless copy of Legend of Drunken Master in my Disney section.

I use the same rule as public libraries and video stores, I ignore "A" , "THE" & "AN" , and alphebitize with the first REAL word.

Wait a minute......

I just thought of An OFFICER & A GENTLEMEN, that one WOULD start with an 'A'

Hmmmmm.

Now I'm confussed.

No, it would go under the letter 'O'.

As of now my VHS are all alphabetical as I do not have too many of them (only 257). My DVDs are sorted in their alphabetical section. All the As, Bs, Cs, etc are together but are not in any order within those sections. The same goes for my Blu-rays. I stared doing this because after it took me 45 minuted to put a title staring with "A" away a month ago I decided alphabetical is over. This new way means I only have to move the last DVD/Blu in each section to put a new title away. Takes about 1 minute now. Much better. Also, each section is separated with a card spacer to mark what letter the section is for.
You can kinda get an idea in this pic...

A-Z (all Blu-Rays in one big A-Z list), best way to go!

[CrystalLake]

Numerically, then alphabetically. Omitting "the, and, a, etc."

This is a question I would love to hear an answer for from you guys. Right now Im organizing my BDs alphabetically, However it is very boring when I buy new BDs (Something that I do very often) so I have to add the BDs, drag them here and there.

Sometimes I feel I should organize them by studio, or by genre but not sure what is the easiest way.

How do you do it?

[wolfbane5]

Alphabetically, the boxsets go on a shelf by themselves.

[greekak229]

Yeah, alphabetically. It's, like, you can find the movie easier that way, and stuff.

My collection is only about one-tenth the size of yours, so I organize it alphabetically (with Concert BD's seperated).

In your case, and if it were me I'd do it by genre as I would never remember what title was done by each studio.

Alphabetically DVD's and Blu's mixed together. Boxed sets in unless they just won't fit. Kid's movies are seperated from grownup movies.

[Blu-ray Fanatic]

Numerical and alphabetical

[Indyjones]

Alphabetically by studio, then alphabetically by title. I also keep the dvd's seperated from the blu's. It just looks more uniform that way.

[Moefiz]

Box set first..then the rest alphabetically.

[csdot]

mine is organized in the following order:
TV series sets (alphabetical)
film series sets (alphabetical)
single film box sets/special packaging (alphabetical)
steelbooks (chronological)
digibooks (chronological)
Criterion collection (spine #)
Roger Corman's Cult Classics (chronological)
double features (alphabetical)
Marvel/DC animated films (chronological)
music performance (alphabetical)
films i have by the same director are grouped together (alphabetical by last name and organized chronologially.)
films that i dont have more than one from that director are just in alphabetical order at the end.
