The problem with organizing them "by the Volume they first appeared in" is that we first need to set standards, otherwise we end up with something that isn't really much better than what we had before.

Qrow, for example:

>Has been mentioned as far back as the very first episode, we've known he was a character since the show began. So we could put him in the Vol.1 section because we've known him since Vol.1.

>Showed up in silhouette form during Yang's narration of her backstory in Volume 2. So we could put him in the Vol.2 section because he first appeared there.

>Showed up in proper 3D form in Vol.3. So we could put him in the Vol.3 section because he first appeared properly in that volume.

See the problem? We need to define, before anything, by what standards we would count a character's first appearance.

>By the first time they were mentioned?

>By the first time they appeared in any way?

>By the first time they appeared in true 3D form?

Until a standard is reached, that idea of yours will just lead to another mess.
