I got that album thingy with inserts, but whats bugging me is - if im not aiming to collect a whole edition, how do i organise my cards? by color? by some other order? I have mixed WoE and Commander Masters cards, but would like to have them somewhere nice when they are not in decks.

If i like an ed and want to have it complete then its going into its own album / fold and sorted by numbers.

I kinda hoped ixalan would be it, but that mixed universe thing is so not my cup of tea...

Very fair! I would posit that for a large collection where you keep every single card you open, and for which you have an online collection tracker such as deckbox.org, using the organising system I mentioned is still the best. There will always be one single place that a card you're looking for would be, and nowhere else.
