Aloha,

Yes, that's what I do. I categorize them based on the relative note of the scale that they start off with. I write them out, and file them away like that. So that all II-V-I that begin on the minor 3rd of the II chord are in the same place. Then, when you are soloing, and find yourself approaching a Fm7 chord (ie a Fm7 Bb7 EbMaj7 coming up), and you are around the Ab note (the minor 3rd of the Fm7 chord), it is easy to recall a bunch of phrases that begin on the minor 3rd, and you can compare them while you practice them.

Of course you don't end up playing the whole phrase, might just use part of it, but at least you don't completely forget phrases that you spent the time to transcribe and learn, just because you never see them again.

Have Fun!
