I agree with WF's idea about working the bods there. These are just a few ideas, but perhaps a different floor for each type ie, smithing on the main floor and tailoring on the second.
Everyone has different ways of sorting. This is mine, just as an example.
I have rarewood chests set up. Cloth/hats/footwear in one. Regular leather in another, Spined in another etc. etc. Dying the chests the colour of the leather is a really easy visual way of sorting and then marking the chests.
Within the chests I sort by type. Normal Leather, Normal Studded, Normal Bone, Normal Female and then Exceptionals the same way. With large amounts, they can then be sorted by number ie 10's 15's 20's.
I sort the metal bods the same way.
I like the stratics tailoring and smithing calculators. It's really quick to punch in the numbers and get a list of the rewards, I made a spreadsheet (don't laugh Atta) from that to price the bods for sale.
Anyway, hope that helps. Perhaps others could post the way they do it, so you could get some more ideas
