Should BeadEnCounter Item ID’s determine how I physically organize my stash?
Physical organization of your bead containers is your personal option. I prefer to sort my beads by color first, then relative size (for example, red large beads are in one drawer, red small beads in another). You may prefer to sort by material, or by size, or even by project. All of these and more are possible, because the ID goes with the bead, not with a drawer or location. BeadEnCounter ID’s are permanent, and will allow you to sort and shuffle your bead organization at will, without being concerned with numerical order. You will always be able to find the data on beads in any container in BeadEnCounter, so even no physical organization at all is fine. The software will keep track for you.
