Yes, Rob, you are becoming obsessive!:D You need to get out more. Make friends, drink beer, go skydiving...! Come on, get a life!
Actually I am coming to the conclusion that we have a geriatric gene that makes neat behaviour increase over time. My bedroom when in my teens was stuffed with electronic junk so deep that I had to sweep a path to the bed each night!
Now my workshop is lined with endless boxes and trays, (reasonably) neatly stacked (as Rob knows).
But as for resistors, I just try to put them the same way round across a board, so they can easily be read left to right when the board is being serviced. Caps ditto, with legends clearly visible.
Luckily we are all different, and tolerance allows us all to rub along together just fine.
Here's to diversity.
