Am I the only one who spent 3 years organizing my longboxes wrong?

So I've been collecting for about 8 years now and I always sorted my single issues alphabetically by title. Last weekend my buddy came over to check out my collection before a local con in Denver and started laughing at how I had everything set up. He pointed out that I had 4 different runs of the same character all split across different boxes because the titles were slightly different. I counted and I had 63 books that should've been together but weren't. Now I'm looking at a full weekend of reorganizing and I'm wondering if there's a better system. Do you sort by character, by publisher, by writer, or something else entirely?
