Right now mine are in binder separated by house then by type by cost
How does everyone organize their cards?
Same thing and on top of that Events by first letter of their name and Plots by their "number" (e.g. Rule by Decree is 441 and goes after Loyalty Money Can Buy which has 431 "number"). Agendas sorted same way as Events.
I have every AGoT card in one of those larger cardboard boxes with 5 columns. I have little dividers that separate by house, one section for multi-house cards, one section for neutral cards, one for plots, one for titles agendas and house cards, and one for events.
Lol I do every single one of these except alphabetize my events and agendas I am going to have to start doing that.
In every attempt I make to organize my cards, I find my deck building and disassembling of decks to be my biggest obstacle. Most of my cards are separated by house and type, but after that it's annoying to re-organize them when I have taken some out.
I like contributing jack to a thread.
Here, my OCD kicks in. I used to have them in binders the same way, but ran out of space, so in card boxes… by type, then house, then cost, then alphabetically.

Hilarious. That's exactly what happened to me, except it wasn't a spacial issue for me. It ended up being more of an issue with me re-organizing the binder every time a CP came out, so I gave up on binders and went to boxes. I still haven't fully transitioned to the boxes yet though.
I organize my cats in boxes by house, type, and then card number. New packs are easy to integrate since then cards go to the back of the appropriate section.
I initially sorted all my cards by House (1 Binder each), then by Type (Attachment, Char, Event, Location), then alphabetically within these. This helped me browse by house/card type to learn my cards, and find cards that fit what I needed in my deck.
Because I now do all my deck-building virtually and have a pretty good grasp of the card pool (and hated revising my binders every CP), I re-sorted by House, then Chapter Pack, then Number (eg card 111/120).
So it's easier to find a card once I know which I need from my deck-list, but I can still browse for inspiration since "themes" tend to concentrate in the same CPs, and I don't have to resort my collection with every new CP.
By number…I used to separate by attachments, events, etc…but found that my OCD (and I mean this literally, not facetiously) could not handle the cards being out-of-sequence…Irrational though it was, I spent 6 hours one night while my husband played Borderlands 2 making them "right"! Now I find searching my expansions and chapter packs to be a very centering experience instead of a stressful one! I keep the cards in binders, in card protectors, and separated by its expansion or chapter pack.
I keep them all in Collector's Albums, one per two Houses (Baratheon/Stark, Targaryen/Martell, Lannister/Greyjoy) plus one for all Neutral cards, Plots and Agendas (even House specifics)
Per House, I start with unique characters first, then non-unique characters. Then I do the same for Attachments. Then the Events (both House specific, and non-house specific that have the house icon somewhere) and then Location, unique followed by the rest.
Even like that, I categorize a bit further. For example, in non-unique characters, I always put armies first, knights next, allies next, and of course, depending on the house there may be more options, such as Dothraki or Ironborn.
I am thinking about organizing my by SET > House > Events > ETC
