How do you organize your LPs?


So I've accumulated upwards of 3,000 records and storage is getting out of hand. I currently have a built-in that holds about 150 of my most listened to. I have 12 Sleeve City boxes that hold 60 each. The rest (a majority) are in other boxes, cabinets, book shelves, etc.
I am planning some cabinetry that will hold ALL my records with room for additional. My question is how do you arrange them? Alphabetical? Genre or some hybrid. I can't continue to look through 500 records to find the one I am looking for.

For the most part, I'm in line with the above posters. However, with a slight twist. I'm into 12" singles. So, in addition, to a separation by genre, I have a separation of 12" singles. Also, I have a separation for what could be considered "audiophile" recordings or brand new releases (not reissues).
