This sorter is great for those occasions when it's not practical to take the paperwork away with you. Jacki, I'm sure you will love it! Julie, I hope you enjoyed the walk down memory lane. :) Moreen, thanks for sharing your system with us.

I used these as a teenager when I worked in the public library (long before the days of computerized search), and they are an excellent tool for speedy sorting.

While I don't carry one in my toolkit, I've used one at a client's office. When sorting papers in my office (sometimes I bring the piles there to work in a quieter environment, and depending on the client) I use something I devised myself to sort by month. This is a simple hanging folder system labelled by month so papers can simply be dropped into the appropriate one, then re-sorted according to date afterwards. If I have several years to sort, I have large dollar store baskets on which I tape the year, and do the pre-sort this way. It's great to try different ways of doing this tedious job till we find the tool that works best for us in whatever circumstance. :) This is an awesome tool.
