How do you sort your LPs?


How do you sort your LPs?
By:
1. Alphabetical Genre
2. Alphabetical Artist
3. Most listened
4. Others
I have procrastinated in organizing my collection. No excuses now.

Not to be a pest, but I remain curious about the rationale for organization/separation by genre. When a collection becomes "large enough", it becomes necessary to organize the LP’s in some manner, to allow finding any particular title easy. For myself (and others), simple alphabetization is all that’s necessary to achieve that objective. What purpose does "genre-fication" serve? I’m not saying my question demands an answer, I’m just curious.

Separating Classical makes perfect sense, as there is no single entity involved: composer, composition, conductor, orchestra, even record label. I understand separating out audiophile labels as well: Sheffield titles in particular don’t seem to belong mixed in with music. ;-)

@bdp24 One of the benefits of organizing by genre is that you have storage flexibility to break the collection up by it. You can keep a favorite genre close at hand and keep things you listen to less frequently in a different part of the room. At least that's how it works for us.
Homebuilt, mobile, vertical shelf unit, sorting alphabetically by artist's core name (i.e. "Who", not "The Who"). Also considering special cases, so; A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,Ktel,L,M,N,O,Polkas,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z
Yes - I have been doing this for a while (1970's). We did some DJ work in the early 1980's with vinyl record albums, so my collection needed to be mobile and easily accessed. Our last job was for the Clear Lake Classic Car Club outdoors; our album covers and sleeves were blowing across the parking lot. Yikes.
I sort by Genre, then by pressing ie. UK, MOFI, Japanese etc, then alphabetical order by Artist. 
By coincidence I just sorted 750 albums by artist and title. I keep track of them on Discogs...I exported a csv file... opened in Excel....got rid of most of the columns...copied and pasted into Wordpad (Word and Notepad proved to not work well)....now cross checking and making sure they have been sorted correctly and adding ones that I hadn't entered into Discogs.
