First thing, first: “The survey asked a series of questions to establish current usage of both 2D and 3D CAD, as a precursor to determining likely future engagement with Building Information Modelling (BIM).” … actually, this was the question: “When producing CAD drawings, which of the following tools do you mainly use?”

Plan Sets are best put into drawing subfolders for each discipline: 1-General, 2-Civil, 3-Architectural, 4-Structural, 5-Mechanical, 6-Electrical, and 7-Plumbing. If you want the drawings to appear in the industry plan set order, you should number your disciplines sinces folder structures default to alpha numeric order.
