Both my CS' sort of have an "order" to them, in that their personal information is first, then skills, then a thread list/archive.
My layout goes a little something like ...
Character Concept
Pre-Creation History
Post-Creation History
--
Equipment
Skills/Lores
Languages
Ledger
--
Active Threads
Thread Archive*
I'd like to think I've successfully made my CS easy to navigate without having multiple posts and title sections, either (although my CS is somewhat of an editing nightmare). I do separate things by frame, but other than that, I try to keep everything relatively simple and uncluttered (spoiler tags work great for this).
*I see a lot of CSs that don't separate active and graded threads. If you hide all your graded threads away in an archive, it really de-clutters everything, in my opinion.
