There is absolutely nothing wrong with organising anything in the way that works best for you.

I was so chuffed, but when I showed him what I had done his reaction was "Nooooooooo!" Apparently he knew that if everything was all orderly, he'd just listen to the same ones all the time.

Alphabetising your canned goods and spices is a bit extreme, however I know some people do it.(less)
