What bag does a cable with HDMI on one end and USB C on the other end go into?

It's own bag, it won't feel lonely for long :)

No, active HDMI cables go in a different bin.

In my system that lands in the "adapters" bin which has has a "display" bag within it.

Either create a 2-dimensional categorization system or create a priority hierarchy.

The most specialized standard wins, so in this case I'd say HDMI.

Obviously, one cuts a small hole in the ziploc bags and runs the cable between them so that each connector can be in the correct bag.
