The answer to this question is the same as any "order" question -- what do you think makes the most sense?
If you think of the Harry Potter movies alphabetically, then order them that way. However, if you think of them in movie order, store them that way. Think about it -- once there are 7 HP films, and you want to watch Goblet of Fire... where would you put it to be able to grab it with the least hesitation? My personal answer would be to put it 4th (in movie order). But if something else works for you (alphabetical, by director, by studio, by spine color)... then go for it.

In the case of "Austin Powers", the chronological and alphabetical orders are the same after all.
