I imagine it's like books. If you have a shelf of books, it's pretty fast to just look around and find what you want no matter how is sorted.
If you run a bookstore, then you need to be pretty organized about how the books are organized do you can find the ones you want as fast as possible.
But if you have a huge library, with millions and millions of books, you need to be very sophisticated with how you store and organize them so you don't spend forever looking for the one you want to read.
