I like having knives, forks, spoons left to right as that is how I say it “grab a knife and fork”.

I am staying in an Airbnb and they have the spoons separating the knives and forks and wonder if this is in insane or maybe I am the minority/insane one?

We have it the same as you. I never really gave it any thought.

I think these things are a matter of personal preference but only really strikes me when I go to get something out when I’m not at home. (At home you can only open the drawer halfway to grab something.)

I’m working with , left to right, big fork, little fork, little spoon, big spoon, butter knives, then perpendicular above them are a clutter of baby sized versions, and above that reusable straws

I bought a drawer organizer and then put the utensils in the slots they fit best in.

Silverware caddy, forks go in the fork shape. :)

I’m taking this as obviously the correct answer if the fancy silverware manufacturer recommends that order.

This is what big silverware want you to believe. Wake up sheeple! A fork and a spoon in the same slot? Open your eyes, man!

Spoons go on the left!!!

My psychopath ex-wife took out the separator and just dumped them all in at random. Only one of the reasons she’s my ex.

Bonus points, you just use the utensil you pull out. Buttering bread and get a spoon, doable. Go for a soup spoon and end up with a fork, hard mode activated.
