Having just alphabetised my SteelBooks, I started to question whether this was the ideal way to organise my collection...
When my collection was small (read: before PLAY.com flooded us with exclusives in 2012), I used to organise my collection alphabetically based on studio. I would keep all of my FOX, Paramount, Warner Bros, Arrow, and Eureka releases together, then anything else just alphabetically. This even worked well once PLAY started releasing waves, as I could keep similar-looking titles together in their "wave"
Ultimately, alphabetically is the most logical way forward when you have a large collection, although this is not without its problems. For example, do you keep all of your Batman releases together, or split them up so that the first five Batman films are under "B" and the last two under "T" (for The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, respectfully).
Likewise, would you keep both Hulk titles together, or split? Same goes for other titles. What about the various waves (Ie, the Warner Bros Premium Collection or Eureka Masters Of Cinema)? Do you keep them together as a group, or split them apart?
Then there's the films that begin with "The" - There's a lot of them, so do you organise them all under "T", or slot them in amongst the rest of the alphabet according to the rest of the film title (such as "G" for Godfather, The)
Obviously there's no right or wrong way to organise your collection, but I'm interested to know how everybody else organises their collection shelves
