As each batch of cleaned parts finishes drying, I load them back into a storage box and take them upstairs to begin the sorting process while watching a movie.
Actually, I have found sorting LEGO to be very relaxing and therapeutic!
The first phase is to just seperate everything by color. Some plastic compartmented trays are helpful for this
When finished, I place those piles into large zip bags for future break-down by type and element.
It is at this point that I also seperate out all Technic elements and throw them in a seperate box regardless of color.
Another plastic bin is the repository for any 'not-LEGO' parts that I run across. It never fails that any pre-owned collection of parts that I have ever acquired contains a number of those undesirable knock-offs.
More to come....
