Default how do you organize multiple socket wrench sets?

There ya' go...

Same idea here except I never bothered to label toolboxes as they're
each different and I know what is in each, anyway.

I keep various socket sets in various places -- most complete in the
shop, naturally, another pretty good complement of most things in the
barn, another smaller assortment in the machine shed, etc., etc., ...,
the pipe cutting tools, etc., in the old shop (because it has a better
arrangement for long stuff wrt to the vice), ...

unfortunately many of the sockets I inherited came to me in bags or
just in boxes that if shaken will get disorganized. I was hoping there
was some big giant flexible key ring type contraption where I can
organize each socket by size then take them off without disturbing the
order of another. Does anyone do something like this?
