I have each drawer for resistors cover a range of E12/24/48 etc. So 390-430 ohms for example.

Then I have to use a magnifying glass and meter just to confirm which one to use if I have multiple values in that range.

Capacitors, values pF to 1uF non-elecrolytic are in sorter trays.

For electrolytic there is such a massive range of physical sizes from tiny to huge; I'd welcome any idea how to logically organise those!
