Alphabetizing Designer names

Ok - don't ask, but for some reason I've decided to alphabetize my charts.
(must be the rain!)

So, does one file Liz Turner Diehl under T or under D?

Lizzie Kate? K? L?

Or the one that really has me fuzzled - what order does Artful Impressions,
Art-Stitch and ArtVenture go in?

Where would you expect to find it? That one is a judgement call. I
would file it under D, but others may disagree.


Lizzie Kate? K? L?

Lizzie*Kate goes under L. They use an asterisk/star between the two
names, so it's one word not two.

Or the one that really has me fuzzled - what order does Artful Impressions,
Art-Stitch and ArtVenture go in?

Art-Stitch
Artful Impressions
ArtVenture
(punctuation/end of word comes before letters; letters are in
alphabetical order regardless of capitalisation (unless you're dealing
with O', de*, Mac/Mc or the like))

I've gone for the D. Now if it was Turner-Diehl, would it be under T?


Lizzie Kate? K? L?

Lizzie*Kate goes under L. They use an asterisk/star between the two
names, so it's one word not two.
Do you know I'd never noticed that before! My Excel file has been updated!

Or the one that really has me fuzzled - what order does Artful Impressions,

Art-Stitch
Artful Impressions
ArtVenture
(punctuation/end of word comes before letters; letters are in

That's the rule I couldn't not remember or find!

Thanks!!!

Art-Stitch
Artful Impressions
ArtVenture (If you`re sure you didn`t mean to put a hyphen in there -
otherwise it would come after Art Stitch)

Not too sure about the other two!

Laughing hard ! I file anything where I think I might be able to
remember where I would have put it lololol

I used your method when I worked and it drove my boss absolutely crazy.

You aren't the phone book or the dictionary, are you? File things as Jenn said
by where you'd most likely find them when/if you wanted them.

Regardless of how you organize the charts, you might also have a little black
hole or a colony of borrowers that will make recovery of an item pretty
difficult.

Since you mention keeping this information in Excel, just alphabetize
them in the same way Excel does so your physical file will match your
computer file.

Actually, I've been cross checking between the two - physical and the spread
sheet, but I wanted to make sure I was giving Excel the "right" data!

As other people have pointed out it is your data base, and the only
thing that matters, I would guess, is that you can use the data base to
find things in the future. Surely there is no reason why things cannot
be in twice or even three times. Use whatever method you are most likely
to find helpful when you want to find something.
The first time I used a Darice box to keep thread in, I solemnly put
the colours in exact DMC number order. I have since learned that the best
way for me to keep them is the way I can find the colors quickly. Some
get sorted by color; some by number; some just because I can remember
where I put them the last time I used them. It is my box, and I store
them the way I find to be most useful. HTH.
