How do I organize a lateral file cabinet for a small business with multiple clients?

Use alphabetical hanging folders by client surname or company name as the primary sort, with color-coded hanging folders per client for visual speed — each client gets a color, with their folders always in that color across all drawers. Within each client's section, sort chronologically with the most recent work at the front. A master index sheet taped to the inside of each drawer front saves time when locating less-common files.
