Default Green House Organization?

I group according to pot size and kind and place broad groups in areas where
light and temp are best. Bt you are probably asking hobbyists with only one
or two plants of each grex/species.

Once a year prior to spiking, usually in late summer, I try to organize
like pot sizes in groups according to grex; next to DPE0001 6" pots Phals
are DPE0002 6" pots of Phals, etc. This way i can find things quickly, But
it is only a matter of a few weeks before confusion starts
"Do have any more of these in 6" pots?"
"My database says there are ten 6" pots of this cross but I don't know where
they went, give me a minute. Are you in hurry..."

I can live with customers carrying plants around and leaving them where
ever they find a better one. I don't think I can stop it anyway. It's
genetic in your species. What I don't like is having somebody hand me just
a tag with the question,
"Do you have any more of these?"
"Where did you get this?"
"Oh, somewhere over there, and also do you have any more of *these*..."

I have helper now, once a week, with his own ideas of how to organize,
"Don't all the yellows look nice grouped together like this, with the tall
ones in the back?"
"Next week, *you* get to pack the mail order boxes, Brad."

While I have never seen it happen things seem to more around at night while
I sleep, (I am considering a spy-cam in there) so that by this time of year
I can't find anything any more. I can't even see the print on most of my
tags anymore. I have started printing new tags in very large font sizes
because neither focal plane of my bi-focals clears up any font below 12.

I am curious as to how everyone organizes their plants in the g/h?
Apart from the obvious hi/light, lo/light & cool to warm, do you keep them
together by genus?
