I'm half way through sorting pieces I bought from pick-a-brick to make my wife a retired set she really wanted. It's only like 1000 pieces and one set, but I deeply wish I had sorted by piece type (plates/bricks/etc) vs colour. The vast majority of the pieces are like 3 colours, and finding the little tiny 1x2 white plates in a bucket with 200 white pieces in it takes forever.
So learn from my incompetence and sort by piece type.
