I found this helpful tip for organizing most lego types in the comments of a video i watched years back it goes like this.
separate in 7 categories
B, P, T, T, W and mfgs + printed
bricks
plates
tiles
tires/rims
windows/doors
minifigs
printed/stickered legos
2 bins to the left, 2 in front and 2 to the right of you + 1 small one + one large bin on your lap which is the misc box you are pulling from.
ive used this method for almost all bulk lots I've bought and once you get into the rhythm of it you can organize large loads of legos pretty quickly.
and if you must then after sorting by all these categories then sort by color but honestly its easier to find a piece you want in a lot of different colors than trying to find a single type of pieces in sea of red.
