I eventually (after many years) got sick of searching through multiple boxes every time I wanted a chainring of a particular size and BCD, so I put up a pegboard, emptied all the boxes onto the floor, and hung up the chainrings sorted by BCD and size. I was actually a bit shocked to find how many I had accumulated over the decades:
My wife, as an ex-librarian, was so thrilled at seeing order out of chaos that she made no mention at all of the sheer number of them.
Seeing them up there reminded me of a conversation with a farmer who collected tractors, and one of his sage pieces of advice was: "Never line them all up next to each other".Chainring sortout
Re: Chainring sortout
That is a lot of chainrings, far more than I have, and I thought I was bad. You appear not to have my excuse of having a load of old track and TT chainrings from my racing days either. Having said that I am quite good at re-using old ones till they wear out and then binning them.

Re: Chainring sortout
I reuse all mine reversing them when needed until worn out. I then cut all the teeth off to use as a chainguard.
