I need to reorganize my fiction bookshelves. What system has worked best for you? I'm leaning towards going by author, though that leaves the question of how to treat anthologies. Maybe anthologies could be first, or shelved by the editor's name. Alphabetical by title (preceded by numbers) might work just as well as by author.

I had been doing them by height size, except for the graphic novels, which tend not to match any standard size.

These particular bookshelves are all fiction (except for graphic nonfiction) so organizing by subject seems unwieldy.

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon Physical format first, but I have mostly paperbacks. Then by genre (SF & fantasy vs detective, thrillers & romance, loosely real world vs not). Within that, by author; within author, usually by pub date or series. Multi-author anthologies come after author-Z, ordered by anthology title (e.g. Magic in Ithkar 1, 2, 3).
