As I'm sure you know, there are a lot of methods out there for organizing your sockets. I've used several different methods, most recently I had these little plastic sheets with appropriately cut holes that you put the sockets in. The sheets are placed flat in the drawer. This worked ok, but the socket sizes were embossed into the black plastic and were hard to see. I've also user those socket mounting bars that have little square socket holders on a long bar to which you click on the sockets - similar to how the socket attaches to the socket wrench.
Well, recently I saw a system that really looked like a better system. It's a series of holders comprised of a plastic base with little rods sticking up. At the base of each rod is a small round base that allows each socket to fit upside down perfectly. The advantages of this system are 1) the size of each socket is printed at the top of each rod and thus easy to see 2) It takes up less space for a given number of sockets and 3) the sockets stay in place much better (than the system with the holes). I bought two sets, one for SAE and one for Metric, to accommodate 1/2, 3/8 and 1/4 inch drive sockets. Here's a picture of the system as installed in my mobile rolling tool cart. AS you can see, each tray has the little bars to accommodate deep well sockets as well as another set for standard shallow depth sockets. The black trays are Metric and the Red are SAE:
