Silverware drawer order

Anonymous
Big fork, big spoon, little fork, little spoon

Big fork, little fork, big spoon, little spoon

Something else?

Knives I assume are at either end (actually I assume they're at the left end).

Oh no. Same order as a plate setting. Little fork, big fork, big spoon, knife, and little spoon above.

My DH just refuses to acknowledge we have two sizes of forks. He literally never will. I’m working on acceptance.

Servingware, spoons all sizes, forks all sizes, butter knives. Steak and utility knives stored on a magnet elsewhere.

My drawer only has 4 sections, and I've never thought any were missing.

My divider has 5 sections but they're large enough to make 2 piles each so: big fork, little fork; big spoon, little spoon; butter knives. Then there's a section at the bottom which for now holds smaller size flatware (spoons and forks) for my kids but will eventually transition to something else.

My silverware drawer has slots that are all next to each other (with one large slot on the bottom, but there are seven vertical slots) so I can't put the spoons above.

I'm so sorry for your plight, but this made me laugh out loud!

From L to R: big fork, little fork, little spoon, big spoon, knives.
Weird stuff like cheese knife and baby spoon: above.
Serving spoons in a different drawer.

If it's real silver, you keep in a felt lined box. Otherwise, buy a plastic flatware divider and the order is obvious.

DH appears to be married to 2 women at the same time. Me too, girl. Me too.

Three. I have to accept a mixed fork drawer if he unloads the dishwasher.

Our silverware only has 4 compartments so it's knives, forks, little spoon, big spoons.

And try not to get stuck with a little fork

Oh! This is so helpful! We use the above slot for kid size utensils, so ours is (L-R): knives, big fork, little fork, big and little spoons in one section with their heads at opposite ends.

But as soon as we can get rid of the kid-size stuff, I’m going to switch to this.

Same, but it’s spoons.
