Like Y-Phil, I have a lot of runtimes for organization. Most are Firgure-related or theme related. No, I don't have 7 temp runtimes active. Those are where I extract things so I can sort them as I want. For a while I didn't have time to sort through them so as I added more content, I added a new runtime to keep things semi-organized and so I could pick through things that hadn't been properly put in any kind of a runtime.

In the runtimes, I also sort things by theme and group things that have multiple parts, like gloves, sleeves, pants, etc.

I haven't seen too many others mention this, but I put all my mat poses in my material folders to keep them together. And I put all the cr2 files that are clothes or non-living things into props. Only people, animals, and other living (or undead) creatures go into Figures just to keep similar things together. 'd rather not look in multiple places for just the right car or shirt.

I organise similarly.  I keep morphs and mats with the figure/prop.  Props contains clothes and personal props.  Hair contains static and conforming hair (and hair props, if they're specific to a hair model).  Animals, scenes, non-personal props in their own runtimes.  Toon stuff in it's own runtime.  I turn them on and off depending on what I'm working on. 

I do some other stuff to keep runtimes backup, deduped, and in sync across multiple machines.  I sculpt using a mix of poser and Blender.  Wrote a Blender add-on to make that easier ^.^
