Separated all the chilis/pepper varieties onto the top, and moved all the salts to the cupboard to the right, since those two categories took too much space. Final count was 109. Phew.

I've had passionate disagreements with others about organizing alphabetically vs. by spice type.
I converted to spice type and regret nothing.
Yes, this has been a recurring debate in my kitchen, too. I try to organize alphabetically to help my partner find the right ones when I send him out to the cellar to gather spices, but it's also a contentious issue that I tend to ignore the adjectives (like "green cardamom" and "black cardamom are both in the "c" area, not g and b) when organizing.
