I basically agree with Yuji's opinion in that Characters should be organised into the size of the role they have played in the series. Although it's going to be a lot, I want to write down why each character is in the appropriate place.

Main: Supporting (mostly characters with no backstory relating to main plot):
 * Haru (for obvious reasons)
 * Makoto (for obvious reasons)
 * Rin (for obvious reasons)
 * Nagisa (for obvious reasons)
 * Rei (for obvious reasons)
 * Sosuke (Rin development, initially assumed as "antagonist" in S2 (I guess) + potential to return to world stage in movie/2020?')
 * Asahi (High Speed main character, prominent role/appearances in S3)
 * Ikuya (High Speed main character, prominent role/appearances in S3 (basically 8 episodes))
 * Hiyori (Prominent role/appearances in S3, Ikuya development)
 * Gou (although appearing since 1st episode, not a swimmer :(, not largely involved in storyline)
 * Nitori (also appeared early on and was apart of the S2 Samezuka relay team, but being of a younger year he is not heavily focused on (despite my personal desire to see him more as captain))
 * Momo (was apart of the S2 Samezuka relay team, but also being of a younger year, he is not heavily focused on (despite my personal desire to see him more period))
 * Kisumi (despite attending Kazami U and having links with most/all main characters, not a swimmer :(  (someone please join his basketball club))
 * Natsuya ('High Speed main and S3 prominent character, but not in the age group of mains)
 * Nao ('High Speed main and S3 prominent character, but not in the age group of mains)
 * Seijuro (also appeared early on, but being older, not focused on)
 * Goro (coach of Iwatobi, but not swimmer)
 * Miho (teacher/advisor of Iwatobi, but not swimmer)
 * Ryuji (S3 assists with coaching main/s but not main themselves)
 * Mikhail (S3 assists with coaching main/s but not main themselves)
 * Albert (assumed antagonist/rival, not main/continuos rival (unless future productions change this)
 * Kaede (assumed antagonist/rival, not main/continuos rival (unless future productions change this)
 * Isuzu (no real impact as of yet)
 * Romio, Shizuru & Ayumu (no real impact as of yet)

I notice that a lot of my reasons involve character appearances overall but that's just what I think ahah.

Edit: Also would it be appropriate to organise seiyuu/VA pages this way too?
