Alphabetically by first name of a band but by last name if it's a person's name.
eg, The Black Crowes is before Jackson Browne. ("the" doesn't come into play with my system)
How do you arrange the order of your records?
I guess some alphabetically. Some by genre. By quality. Etc.
My preference is keeping them randomly arranged. This way I get a nice variety and I don’t have to choose. And it’s always a nice surprise.
I take them out about ten at a time and place them in a dedicated space between my mono blocks.
