record storage - SORT ORDER

Subject: record storage - SORT ORDER Tue Apr 05, 2016 7:09 pm

how do you put your records / CDs on the shelf?
for example, focus on Saint...

OPTION 1 -
all issues of a given record, one after the other? like this? -
- 1984 Warriors of the Son
- 2001 Warriors of the Son
- 2004 Warriors of the Son
- 2014 Warriors of the Son
- 1986 Time's End
- 2002 Time's End
- 2011 Time's End
- 1988 Too Late For Living
- etc.

OR

OPTION 2 -
all issues of a given record interspersed with the rest of the discography? like this?
- 1984 Warriors of the Son
- 1986 Time's End
- 1988 Too Late For Living
- 1997 Saint
- 1999 The Perfect Life
- 2001 Warriors of the Son
- 2002 Time's End
- 2004 In The Battle
- 2004 Warriors of the Son
- 2005 Live '05
- 2011 Time's End
- 2014 Warriors of the Son

OR

OPTION 3
- something else?

I'm having trouble telling if the way I'm asking this makes sense so let me know if not...

I do Option 2. I alphabetize by artist then go chronologically by release.

I do option one, although in fairness, I don't have a lot of reissues.

Option 1 though I don't do a whole lot of reissues either.

I'm an option 2 kinda guy.

Me too.

Though that being said... Right now all my CDs are in boxes and quite disorganized. Sad

This causes me to loose sleep at night haha. Once I get back from Europe in July, I'll be looking for a bigger place (that Veronika and I will both live in once we're married) and will definitely get them all properly organized on a shelf!

Option One for me, but I'm the same in that I don't have a lot of reissues...

I alphabetize by band name and then I alphabetize by name of the CD.

Subject: Re: record storage - SORT ORDER Thu Apr 07, 2016 9:43 am

Option 2 for me.

Subject: Re: record storage - SORT ORDER Thu Apr 07, 2016 4:05 pm

I alphabetize by artist. Last name first with a few exceptions, like TobyMac. I try to keep them in order of release and put the reissue next to it like option one.

Option 1! Although the reissue was released after "newer" albums, to me it's all about the first release date of the original work. This applies to remasters though, I think I would choose option 2 for rerecordings only.
