Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
I just seperate lights & darks. If I have a lot of whites, I might do a seperate load for them but not often.

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
I usually do: DD's clothes, whites, towels, jeans, DH's work clothes, then my shirts, sheets/blankets and if I'm really feeling up to it then I'll do a load of socks, undies and wife beaters

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
Yup!
Lights
Darks
Line dry lights
Line dry darks
Towels
Sheets
Cat blankets
If DH does the laundry, I'll always separate the line dry from the dryer stuff. I'm very particular about what stuff gets line-dried, so it's easier if I sort for him.

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
Colors and Whites.
The white load gets bleach
I also don't wash whites with colors because I'm scared the colors will run onto the whites.
I wash my delicates and things I dont' want to stretch or shrink seperately too- regardless of color- in a hand wash cycle and cold water

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
i do vin's car wash clothes separately because they are usually dirty and have armor all on them lol. so they only go in together.
then, i'll do his regular stuff together and i do wash his nice student teaching t-shirts (that he wears under his dress shirts) separate with our white sheets. just to keep them nice and white and crisp. also, i will separate some of my nice clothes and wash them on delicate - we have a great machine with all these fancy settings so if something of mine is new i'll wash it separate from say my gym clothes.

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
It depends on how much I have to do. If there is enough for 2 loads, then I'll separate into darks and lights. Or colored and whites. But if it's a small load, I'll just do it all in one. But sheets and towels are always separate

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
So I guess most of you guys don't bleach your whites? DH wears at least two white T shirts under his work shirts every day plus I wear white camis under my button down shirts and I wear wife beaters to bed a lot. If I skip ONE week of bleaching I feel like they get so dingy? I soak them in bleach every time I wash them for at least an hour and they come out great!

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
hahah yes, I actually do.
Whites, Blacks, Colors: darks and light.
We have a small washing machine, so the smaller bundles make more sense. Dh has even started to follow my sorting system when he does a few loads of wash!

I do darks, lights, sheets and towels all separate and then last I do my whites because I bleach them through one cycle and then do a cycle with detergent.
I do the same. I actually have separate pop-up laundry baskets to sort them first so I know how much I have to do of each kind.

So I guess most of you guys don't bleach your whites?
I don't bleach, b/c then I'd have to do DH's warm wash seperate from mine, since I don't bleach my underwear & socks, but I wash them in warm water, while I wash everything else in cold water. To seperate our warm wash to bleach & no bleach, would be two small loads, and our laundry is pretty expensive, so I try & fit as much as I can! 
If we had out own washer I would do it that way. My tanks & DH's T-shirts coudl realy use it. I soak some things in Oxy Clean in the bathroom before washing sometimes.
To answer the original quetion, I don't really sort when we do laundry, we have different hampers for thigns to be washed in cold & warm, and do them on different days.
