Even the LP's that are stored are alphabetic. It's not that hard.

But he's not doing any of the cooking so how's he going to know where it
came from? As far as he knows it just appeared, dirty, on the counter
or in the sink.

Ease into it. Plant a couple of climbing peas or beans around the porch
or on a balcony. See if it is worth getting an entire field. Just the
cost of getting a complete field delivered is pretty high.

He's cooking!!! That's the *only* reason why he needs to find it in
the first place. LOL

Oh, my eyes! OMG, I don't think I can see! I can't imagine such a
calamity! Oh, the humanity...!!!

Okay, just kidding - the DH is a trial lawyer and I'm a litigation
paralegal. We're anal retentive by nature when it comes to
organization. OTOH, there is not another single item (of non-legal
status) in my house/car/office that weighs over, say, 12 ounces, that
can be relied upon to be found in the same place twice. Case in point,
my office keys, as I keyboard this, are sitting on my boss' desk in
his [locked] office in our [locked] offices where I left them this
afternoon when I dropped off the late afternoon mail after he'd left.
Doh!

Nah, he just likes to be able to put his hands on an album when he
wants it. He is a self-described Luddite. Hey, he keyboards with two
fingers, fer cryin' out loud.
