Organizing Bookshelves

How to Organize

First, by letter

  • Alphabetized by the letters. Nothing goes before something. So B goes before BS.
Next by whole number.
  • K5 would go before K23.
The next group is a decimal with letters and numbers.
  • Letters are arranged alphabetically
  • Numbers are treated as decimal points
  • Comparing .A4010 with .A52 by position, the 4 is smaller than 5 so .A4010 comes first.
The final number is usually a date, so shelve chronologically.
