Subject: Need advice on Canadian sets

I have two folders that contain a mish-mash of Canadian maps. I've counted six varieties of 1:500,000 maps and five varieties of 1:506,880. We've had them interfiled in the past because they use the same sheet numbering system. I can't find any logical pattern to the name & type of map changes; they cross time frames and geographic regions. How is the best way to split these into "like" items? I don't know enough about the changing department names and purposes of mapping projects:
a. 1:500,000 Canada Department of Energy Mines and Resources, Aeronautical Edition
b. 1:500,000 Canada Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, Aeronautical Edition, National Topographic Series
c. 1:500,000 Canada Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, Aeronautical Edition
d. 1:500,000 Canada Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, Aeronautical Chart
e. 1:500,000 Canada Department of Energy Mines and Resources
f. 1:500,000 Canada Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, National Topographic Series
The five types of 1:506,880 maps have similar variations.
