How Do You Organize Your Pattern Collection?

I've scanned and downloaded so many patterns, I don't know how to index them properly. {:3_60:} I was trying to do it by subject, but then some patterns fall under mulitple categories, and I can't decide where to put them... I can't do it by artist, either, because a lot of the patterns I've downloaded are anonymous.

Would you be willing to share your own system with me? {:3_55:}

I’ve seen so many different ideas, I’ve decided to print the first page, the one with the picture on and put them in a poly pocket so I can flip through easily

I sort by manufacturers and designers. If I really like the plot, I move it to the "favorite" folder .
