| At our place it's opposite, I guess when you do it often enough you get a preferred method though a relentless optimization loop, which in the end ensures it's all clean, the plates are well separated only in 1 particular order, the glasses are placed to the left so all small pans fit at the right, deep plates are placed half over cutlery rack so they are supported and more fit in, small plates in front so all lids fit before them... etc etc etc. |

This has lead to “discussions” (still at a friendly level) and the dish washer being placed in my list of responsibilities. I think optimal configuration is very much a NP complete problem. | | |
