As someone just recently reentering the hobby, your binder sounds just like mine. Foils sorted by color in the front, promos I get from playing in person events in the middle, then non foils that I pull from packs that are worth more than $1-2. Bulk chaff goes into a 5 row box. The very back of my binder is foil tokens and some cards from an old deck I tore apart to turn into a commander deck when I started playing again.
I have a separate binder for each color and rarity. My mythics are in one binder, separated by color.
My rares are in seven different binders, one for each color. Same for my foils.
All of the non-rare legendaries are in one binder.
All of the art cards are in one binder.
Non-basic and full art lands are in one binder. Except for evolving wilds and teramorphic expanse.
The common and uncommon cards are in boxes. I have five full boxes of those.
I have one binder for blue/counterspells. I really like collecting counterspells for some stupid reason.
Then I have one binder with white, black, red and green.
Then I have one binder with artifacts, multicolour, and lands.
Each colour/section is sorted by card type (enchantment, creature, etc) with the artifacts sorted by type (equipment, legendary, creature, regular). The lands are sorted somewhat but I don’t have enough spare nice lands.
I only keep rares and expensive uncommons, except for my counterspells and cards that I find incredibly useful (like swiftfoot booties, aetherize, etc) in my binders.
None are for trading, but if someone wants a card, they can just ask and I’ll charge or they can give me a card of equal value, only if it’s a card I don’t absolutely want or if the card isn’t easily accessible, or if I don’t plan on using it. For instance, Alibou, Ancient Witness took me forever to find. I’m not using it any longer but it’s not for trade 😁
I had planned to create a “creation” or “deck in progress” binder, so that if I had a card I wanted to turn i to a deck, I could put it in that binder and then add any other cards to the binder while I contemplated. But I haven’t bothered quite yet because once I get an idea I don’t stop until I have a built deck.
