Michelle - I don't really think it makes much difference one way or another. I've tried each way. But given the choice, I would prefer them organized by subject if I were a patron. As a patron, I could jump directly to landscapes, waterfalls, or whatever, and skip the cute chipmunks and florals. It can also be advantageous to you each time you need to restock, as it aids you in keeping tabs with inventory. You will have to "clean up" your bins a few times each day, and replace prints in their rightful slots, as patrons often will not.
It is true that you can have "too many" prints. Browsers will often get bored after a certain time, and leave. But the flip side to this is that they never found anything worth purchasing anyway. If someone is really interested in one of your prints, they will "pull" it as they continue to browse, or return to it once they get tired, and buy it. So again, while there is certainly some creedence to having too many prints, I doubt that it interferes with sales at all.
Keeping your inventory well organized has its merits on many levels.
One important level is the multi-purchasing patron: When customers are looking to create a cluster of similar subject images from your bin, having them organized is by far the best and easiest way for the customer. If they want to group waterfalls, seasonal images, cute animals, or whatever, they are more apt to do so when the subject matter is separated, thus, it is quite arguable that having them organized by subject may actually lead to better sales.
Go for it.
