I have made the same experience sorting my record collection as Richard
stated, sorting alphabethicaly id fine if Your collection is less than
say 3-400 objects.  Anyway I became reluctant wen I turned 500 Cd's and
started looking for a better sollution, and the best I could find is giving
each CD an index number (a small tag with a number, that I tape to the
box), this alone is not sufficient, one has to seat oneself infront of
the computor building a database of one's collection (This has been
discussed on the list several times), there are several comerical CM
databases availible, as well as doing it like me, using a program called
"Filemaker" on a MAC designing my own template.  This has been a positive
experience in many ways, not least when I've been able to say; I did not
know I had that CD!  Lugging my powerbook around all the time, I use the
CDdb to check if I have a certain record or work while browsing in stores,
Its also a good reference wen giving "advice" on music.
