I do it by function.
My t-shirts go next to my casual pants & jeans.
My dress shirts go next to my slacks, which go next to my suit, which go
next to my tie hanger.
Etc.
This is quite logical to me, and it's not hard when looking at it to see
that it is sorted into these (and a few other) sections.
My wife, on the other hand, has no discernible system that I can
discover. She doesn't sort by color, or by function, and apparently not
even by ensemble. Yet she always tells me that I put her clothes in the
wrong place when I do laundry, and she never puts my clothes where I
think they should go.

I'm enough of a nerd that I actually have labels in the closet saying
where things go. :-) I still have to reorganize it every few months if I
actually care.
One other helpful hint: After you take clothes off a hanger, put the
hanger in a specific spot. Then when it's time to hang up the laundry
after washing it, you don't have to hunt thru the closet to find all the
hangers to take to the laundry room.

Helpful housekeeping hints:
Check your feather pillows for holes
before putting them in the washing machine.

Haven't been in the closet in years.
No, seriously, the closet in this apartment is too useless for clothes.
I store towels, spare computer parts, and my collection of long coats in
the closet. The cabinet I have for clothes is sorted by function and
style. Fancy, delicate, or otherwise difficult to fold things stay on
hangers, everything else gets folded into a basket by function. Except
on weeks, like this, where I don't spend all that much time in one
place. These days, I live out of a suitcase.

Ooh, I should do this!

Meh, I already do that, and she just steals the hangers from my closet
instead of hunting through hers for spare ones.

My philosophy is that the most common things you use should be easiest and
quickest to get at. This doesn't just go for clothes, but also for stuff in
the kitchen, bathroom etc. This also means that twice a year I need to
rearrange a bit.

I will be brief but not nearly so brief as Salvador Dali, who gave the

finished," then he sat down.

Likewise...
But then, my mum seems to have some kind of obsessive compulsive
disorder that causes her to ritually sort and resort anything that isn't
locked down, so...

... Sort?
Usually what winds up happening is my clothing "order" (I use that term
loosely) metamorphises through the seasons. During the cool season cool
season clothes tend to be toward the middle of the rack, most
accessible, during the warm season the opposite is true. It's mainly a
result of cramming everything that comes out of the laundry in the middle.
For things other than clothes... It just sort of collects into random
piles around the perimeter.

Heh. Sort your closet?
That brings a whole *new* meaning to "heap sort"... ;-)
