How do you arrange your DVDs/Blu-Rays? (O.C.D. Question)

In my office, I have several bookshelves with probably around 300 Blu-Rays. All of my bigger boxsets (the Bond Collection, Halloween boxset) I keep on top of the bookshelf, because they take up so much room. On said bookshelves, I arrange the movies alphabetically. I start with movies that only contain numbers as titles (12 Monkeys, 28 Days Later, 300, 2012), then I move on to the As (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Aladdin, Alex Cross) and continue down the alphabet in that manner. Now, when I get to a series like Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, I keep Batman Begins between Batman & Robin and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises between The Crazies and The Dark Tower.

Now, here's where my dilemma comes in. When I get to my Star Trek discs, I own all three Abrams movies, 6 TOS movies and 4 TNG movies. I also own three seasons of TOS, one season of TAS, seven seasons of TNG and 4 seasons of ENT. Do I put these in chronological order, with Enterprise coming first, the TOS, TAS, TOS movies, TNG, and TNG movies? If I do this, then where to the Abrams movies go? Or do I put them in Prime Universe/Kelvin Universe order (same order as before, but with the Abrams movies at the end)? Right now, I have them in production order with TOS, TAS, TOS movies, TNG, TNG movies, ENT, then the Abrams films.

So, for all people out there who alphabetize your movies, in what order do you put your discs?
 
Numbers

then letters in alphabetical order

Exception: sequels generally go right after first movie (Dark Knight after Batman Begins).

"A" and "The" are generally ignored.

Disney is it's own category, so the s/o knows where to find her movies and I don't have to flip through Twee Pixar Movie #132 while looking for something good to watch.

Disney section arranged same as main: numbers, letters, sequels grouped.

Star Trek is a little scattered because CBS insists on using DVD-height cases for it's blue ray box sets, while my shelves are spaced for bd's. If/when I fix that, I'll probably go shows (in order of air date) then movies (in order of release). So...TOS,TNG,ENT,DSC (eventually),ST1-10. Not sure if I'll ever get DS9 on disc. It's always on 3 streaming services at once. No VOY or JJTrek, because I can make sh*t for free, why would I buy a box of the stuff?
