Subject: Classifying periodicals

Hi Serials Catalogers in Law Libraries,
Those libraries which classify their serials and periodicals, do
you put the continues and continued by titles together by one
call number order?  Or do you classify them, but shelve them
alphabetically by title, so that if some body has a citation for
the title, he or she can go to the title without looking in the
catalog (online or card)?
In our library, the periodicals are not classified, they are shelved
alphabetically.  If I classify them, their present order should not
be changed.  That is how this question came to me.  I hope this
question is not as clear as mud!
