This. I organize by volume date but I'm assuming most here are using calibre.

Personally I've found calibre a poor choice for comics but to each their own.

For file system organization, I've found this to work for me.

DC Comics/Batman (1940 Series)/Batman Vol.1940 #001. (April. 1940).cbz

So, if I'm looking for say, Chris Claremont and X-men:

Marvel/X-Men (1991 Series)/X-Men Vol.1991 #001. (October. 1991).cbz


but that requires having some knowledge of the timeframe the writer did the series but I have found most comic fans are aware of the general timeframe.

Use whatever works best for you.

EDIT: I should note that all of my comics have complete and accurate metadata so comic readers like Comicrack are able to extract more info. Personally I haven't really found the need but it's there if needed.
