It depends on your collection and whatever your personal preference is.
Player collections, I like to sort them by year then brand. Others like to sort them by team.
Full sets, I sort them by subsets then alphabetically by team (city) then last name, with checklists at the end if they have them. Others like to keep them in numerical order #1-792 or 660 or 800 or whatever.
Inserts, I sort them as numbered and have them after the main full sets.

Since I mostly player/team collect, I sort by team, then player and the position. Traders I sort by set numerically to find them easily.

Do you keep your sets in boxes or in binders?

For player ... by year then brand
For sets ... it's by brand alphabetically then numerically.

Always happy to answer new member's questions. I'm a set collector, so they're sorted by sets. Within a complete set, the cards are sorted by team, with Team Cards, followed by Managers, followed by HOFers, followed by my favorites. If the set isn't complete, I keep them in order by number until it's complete.
Other than the cards on display, all of my cards are in binders.
Enjoy, no matter what.

I organize everything numerically and keep most completed sets in binders (3in & 5in binders)....those that aren't in binders go in a cardboard box (count size of box depends on set size).
Best part about collecting is you can do it however you want.

I'm also a set collector. All my sets are sorted numberically as well. While I'd like to have everything bindered up right now all sets are in 800ct boxes, smaller one lumped together in some "logical" order in many cases. My inserts are all in 5K boxes broken down according to how they are in here (year/main set/insert set/#).

Tired and trembling I am descending, will I have to stay here and live this life again?

I build my sets and put them in binders. If the set is not complete then it moves to 5k boxes by year. This allows me to look for cards by finding the year tag in the box with the years on the outside.

When life has you down buy a pack of cards and realize you overpaid.
