For the illustrator-specific collectors out there, I’m genuinely curious how you organize your collection/binders. Would love to hear your explanation as well!
Also curious if I’m the only one who organizes by dex entry (I know it’s a nightmare whenever a new card comes out and I have to shift them all, but it looks so nice to me!) 
Release date is the best because it lets you see the evolution of the art over time
I have a couple of “mini-binder” artist collections. The goal isn’t to collect every single card by every artist, rather to create a small showcase of art by different artists I like. Because it’s just to get a sense of the vibe, I’m not too particular about organizing by release date or anything.
I keep them in these mini photo albums from Amazon, each page is intended to hold 1 Polaroid but it works well with a single Pokemon card in a perfect fit sleeve. I wouldn’t store anything particularly valuable in here, but it works well for bulk 
I currently have mini-binders for:
I also organize by dex entry most of the time as well as painful as it is having to shuffle things around whenever a new batch of illustrations is released haha. It’s always worth it though to see the evolution lines in order especially when the illustrations tell a story like the Ralts, Kirlia, and Gardevoir cards
Anything other than release date is psychotic.
OK, Seriously. By artist and then loosely by release. I put all my artists save arita in the same binders, so I try to keep sets together, but have to throw-in promos and one-offs to try to keep artists together.
If it’s something like a binder page or a spread of a certain artist it’s just whatever pleases my eye, but if it’s more it will always be by release date, even though i’ve taken some liberties to shift some individual cards to keep evolution lines or for example certain AR cards in the same row
