I classify assignments by Client, alphabetically, and then i have subfolders sorted by date.

| Where the chain starts | Feb 26, 2016 |
Regular/Occasional clients> Client Name > Year > Date they arrive
The chain starts here with the clients
Subject is never included, It would be something though!

I have a lot of client folders by now, and a "Miscellaneous" folder for small clients - client sub-categories are a very good idea! Reorganizing right now! Although my categories might be different - direct/agencies, local/EU/other...
Question to people who have the "subject" above the "client": how do you classify work for the same client fitting into different subjects? Even a direct client will have texts about its technical matter + legal + financial... Not to speak of agencies. And some agencies have "project folders" - different between agencies (mainly as to the respective location of source and delivery files).

and that's it - since Windows already sorts the content of every folder according to date, I don't see the need to create additional sub-folders.
