I was just curious...
How do you guys sort your (physical) cards in Binders? In Boxes?
By Number?
By Rarity?
Alphabetically?
And are they seperated by expansion?
Or do you put the same card but from different expansions together?
It's just that after a while you accumulate a lot of cards and it gets more and more difficult to find a certain card...

In this order:
in binders by colour,
then by type (creature, aura, enchantment, instant then sorcery),
then by block/expansion,
then rarity,
then by CMC.

Means I can go straight to the card I want!

I just put them in numerical order. It already orders them alphabetically and by color. Ez pz

Block (RTR, GTC and DGM in one binder mixed)
Color (colorless, W, U, B, R, G (The color wheel, from the top clockwise)
Supertype (creature, instant, sorcery, enchantment)
Alphabetically

All rares in standard are sorted into block, set, color, and name. All others are simply sorted by color then name. I keep rares in sleeved in boxes and keep a record on this app so if someone wants to see my "binder" I open it on here an let then look through.

I sort by colors, land, and artifacts/colorless cards. Standard is in front for the people who strictly play only standard. Then it's everything else that's nonstandard (modern, edh staples , etc) with minimal sorting because so quickly cards are traded, people pull stuff out and we can't work out a deal, etc. Plus I have so many cards it would probably take a day. I have too much bulk, but hey! People are often interested in it so I keep most every card in my binder.

I have a separate smaller binder that I rarely bring to shops that have more expensive modern staples, playsets, and other things I have little interest in ever trading (Japanese  {Sword of War and Peace}, fetches, Lilly of the Veil, beta basic lands). I also use this binder for potential modern decks I'm making so I don't have to say "oh, that's a deck not trading sry" and can reference quickly to see if I have it.

I have two binders for money cards/rares. One is for standard and the other is nonstandard. In those, cards are separated by color. I have a box for standard uncommons and one for nonstandard uncommons, they are separated in their respective boxes by color. I have a box for standard commons, separated by color, in alphabetical order. My nonstandard commons are in a huge box, separated by color, card type, and are in alphabetical order within their category.
