Just curious about how the rest of you go about organizing your collections?
Do you sort by creator? Whether they're fictional or real? By federation? By decade (if they're old school RL edits), etc?

For real wrestlers I sort them by promotion and I use stables to sort them by date. Date not being a fixed timeframe of, say, a decade bot more arbitrary such as "Attitude Era".
For my own promotion I just add stables for every tag team.
Generally I also use the mod from the Mod Pack to sort them alphabetically. Makes it way easier to find the edit you want in a big list.

Pretty much like the old Firepros, minus the Japanese/westerner segregation.
So, grouped by federation, and sorted in order of importance/dominance from top to bottom. General "legends" have their own fed, with specific companies getting expanded into their own legend feds as they grow large enough, which can then be broken down by era if necessary.
My "WWE legends" fed, for example, has groups within it that break it down mostly by era: WWWF era, Wrestlemania era (because I didn't want to name it Hulkamania era, although that's what it is), New Generation, Hart Foundation, Attitude Era, D-X, Ruthless Aggression (for lack of a better term) era.
The Hart Foundation and DX work out well for having fit kind of between/across eras, so I can fit them in next to the appropriate era. My WCW fed is similar but smaller: broken down into NWA era, Horsemen, Nitro era, and nWo. My ECW group is large enough to be its own fed, but not large enough to be broken down into further groups yet.
I don't have a need to group by creator as I don't have an edit I didn't make.
Having the master list sorted how I want it can be a pain, but it makes it easy to move guys from one group to another, or combine or split groups, and guys end up just where they should. Like moving Ric Flair from legends to WCW when it grew big enough to have a Horsemen group, or moving Kushida from NJPW to NXT, and they just seamlessly slide into place where it makes sense to me to see them.

I organize my stuff by promption and Face/Heel.
I organize other creators' stuff by their name, though I'm probably going to end up re-organizing them by name in their own promotions.

For FPW I use the same organizational strategy I used with FPR. 90% of the time I use FPW I'm using fantasy edits based either on my e-feds or others. So I organized my save to be very "e-fed top heavy" so it's easy and quick to access the main edits I use. It's kind of an asymmetric organization since the majority of the promotions in the game are e-fed with just a few promotions at the end for real life wrestlers. The edits in my UBL e-fed promotion are represented in the game by me using 6 "promotions" with a few stables each.
For example:
UBL NEXUS (Organization/Promotion)
- Face (Stable 1)
- Heel (Stable 2)
UBL Battalion (Tag)
- Face
- Heel
UBL Front Lines (rookies)
- Front Lines (development program)
- Comedy
- Works in Progress
UBL Factions (Face)
- (one faction for each of the face factions)
UBL Factions (heel)
- (one faction for each of the heel factions)
UBL Miscellaneous
- Alternate versions
- Legends
Then I also have set up promotions for each of my main stables that have multiple sections (like Matsuki Holdings and Destiny). The first promotion in my game is "Orochi Army" (which is subdivided into different factions...including Goose Army). Then I have Matsuki Holdings promotion. Then I have the UBL factions listed above. After the "UBL Miscellaneous" faction I have "Destiny" as the final promotion in my "UBL" section of my save. After that I have a similar multiple-promotion set-up for OG-Joshi and LAWL.
For edits from others, I have one giant Promotion for e-feds from other people. Each faction in the promotion is dedicated to a different promotion. Sometimes this feels a bit unwieldy (since I have like 15-20 factions that I have to scroll through) but its alphabetical and is pretty easy to find everyone. I have one promotion just for FPCPP/ALLIANCE edits as well.
For real life edits, I have like 3-4 promotions. These aren't really that well organized though. I tend to just use the edits in occasional battle royales anyway so doing a random select to find wrestlers gets the job done.

My structure is very similar to the one IamAres described.
After Fire Promoter came out, I basically created two promotions for each fed - Current and Past (so they don't get mixed up in promoter mode).
The Current promotions are usually split into stables or brands (or both), whatever makes most sense for that promotion.
For example, current WWE has RAW, Smackdown!, NXT, NXT UK, 205 Live.
WWE past has 2010's, Ruthless Aggression, Attitude Era, New WWF Generation, 80's, etc. but also DX, Hart Foundation, Evolution and so on. It works pretty well since I love making era specific wrestlers. So Evolution Batista is different than the 2010's Batista.
Similarly, WCW has NWA, early 90's, mid 90's, late 90's-00 but also nWo, Horsement, cruiserweights and so on. Obviously, the stables are placed in a logical order between the years.
Some promotions don't really have eras so I sorted by whatever fits most.
In Dragon Gate, for example, I have a very large roster covering 1999 to 2007, so I just created a stable for each year. Every edit has his stable written in the nickname (Crazy Max, New Hazard, etc.).
Very small promotions sometimes get grouped under one promotion as stables. A good example is Michinoku Pro, Osaka Pro, K-Dojo and my favorite, Pro Wrestling SHI-EN.
