How do you order your DVDs

[Honkytonk]

I used to do it by genre but now I put mine in order of Studio (Fox, Warner etc). How do you order yours?

i dont really have mine in any order, i do try and keep the series together.

did think about putting them in alpha order but then realised that i would have to shuffle them all if i went out and cout something beginning with an early letter.

[Honkytonk]

I find ordering by genre too complicated as there's too many crossovers like sci-fi horror etc.

Alphabetically as displayed, but with the filter system on excel, I can actually easily choose them in relation to personal "Out of 5" rating, guidance rating, run time, actors involved, director, year, and genre.

waaaay too much time on yr hands there mrb :p

[JAMESTALKALOT]

I used to have them all in order but after you get 1000+ it's pain in the arse...Now I just put them where I have space :D

[Tim Isaac]

I do mine by vague genres, largely because otherwise I can never find the movie I'm looking for. I didn't actually start doing it for myself, but for the people I lived with at the time. They always wanted to borrow stuff, but having no idea whereabouts it might be used to drive them nuts.

i order my dvds by actor/actress
then academy awards wins/nominations
then directors
then comic book/graphic novels
then age certificate as long as a series isnt affected
like spider-man and blade and the godfather trilogies

[I-Killed-Kenny]

I'm with Tim. Vague genres. Although generally they're a mess, because I can never find the time to order them properly. I've thought about doing a mrb style spreadsheet, as it would be very handy (especially as I keep lending DVDs to friends and can never remember who has what, or even if I've actually got something on DVD or not).

I have my DVDs listed on a word document to keep track of what I own, each title also has a hyper-link for quick and easy reference on each film. I also have an Excel document for keeping track of what's out on loan and exactly how many I currently own.

In terms of ordering my DVDs on shelves then it's all random.
