Best way to sort cards?

[Rass]

Ok I hit the wall still not sure how I want to organize it. I think I need to pay someone and just continue on in that order
But thanks for all the ideas

I like the ideas for sorting thanks guys. When it comes to your cards that are worth more, but are used in a play deck, how do u care for them. Do you use proxys for them or what?  ie i have a deck with 3 grave titans, of course in sleeves, but do u think thats good enough or should i remove them for play totally??

I just sleeve them.

What do you mean by "hit the wall"?

Trying to sort them there just on my basement table in a bunch of piles and there probably gonna stay that way for awhile

What I find works best for me is to just throw all of mine into garbage bags. This drastically cuts down on time spent organizing. When it's time to build something with them I just go on eBay and buy one that somebody else already put together. This drastically cuts down on time spent building with them. I am a pretty good player so when someone buys me a few I just slap them in the mouth and toss them into my garbage bags. This drastically cuts down on time spent developing social and support networks. If this doesn't work for you then you probably aren't a serious My Little Pony collector anyways....shoot, disregard this I think I might be on the wrong forum.

My Little Pony has cards?   Scratch that, I'm not surprised.

i sort by color then cmc then put all my rares in a seperate pile

[Greg54js]

If you really want to go insane... Alphabetize them

[Clearmario]

For my rares I do color by most expensive to least ( ones in my real life trade binder)
For commons, color then creatures and non creatures, then alphabetical according to set, if I'm really bored or I atleast group the same cards togethor

[Willthomjr]

I go by color, cmc, then rarity. Once you get familiar with a set you'll remember what's what and where to look for em. Rares regardless of value go into binder (as well as dollar uncommons)

[Kareason]

I do color for solid cards, land by Basic/non-Basic, then Golds & Split Color & Alt Color.

I sort the by color. Then buy rarity. Then alphabetize. It takes FOREVER..... but is quite rewarding once it is done because it makes it really easy to find cards.

[Dudecore]

Alphabetized - Mythics
Alphabetized - Rares.
Alphabetized - Uncommons
Alphabetized, Color - Commons

I honestly don't have many Mythics or Rares that aren't in decks.

Same here on that one. And it totally takes for ever. Especially when you put them in binder sleeves. 9 different binders, all rarity and alphabetized. I love the binders though. I get a deck idea, then pull out a binder and flip through the pages, no card hidden! Fantastic.

...except when I get new cards... Shifting a card over one slot 1000 times is annoying, need to find a better way for new cards.
