What's the most effective way to organize files inside a lateral cabinet?

Divide each drawer into labeled sections — alphabetical, categorical, or by project — using consistent hanging folder labels so anyone can find a file quickly without searching. Keep active and frequently accessed files in the top one or two drawers and archive or rarely needed files in the lower drawers. Color-coded tab systems speed up retrieval significantly in high-volume environments. Reserve at least one locked drawer for confidential materials and limit who holds the key.
