The lego is stored in a number of shallow drawser in a unit, each draw is devided into small square compartments. To begin with, the lego was sorted by type: One drawer would hold all of the 1*X flats, 2*X flats, 1*X non-flats, 2*X non-flats, and so on. Each row of a draw would contain all of the peices for one value of X, and each collumn would contain all the peices for a colour, so one box may contain 1*4 flats in red. To it's east would be the yellow 1*4 flats, to it's west would be the blue 1*4 flats. To it's north would be the 1*6 flats in red, and to it's south would be the 1*3 flats in red.
Although this system allowed for accurate sorting of peices, it was not so easy from a builders point of view, as you may need to access a number of drawers to get at the bricks you need for, say, a house. The resort by colour was carried out because most models you may build require all the bricks of one colour, rather than all the bricks of one shape.
Phew.
