Miele dishwashers (maybe they exist for others brands too but I've only ever seen them on Miele) have a cutlery tray at the top of the dishwasher which allows you to lay cutlery down next to each other.

Emptying is then simply grabbing the entire group and placing straight into the drawer.

Widely available in all brands as far as I can tell. I don't get it all (had several chances to try it, family), in my experience it moves work from the unloading phase to the loading phase. I'd rather do it in the former. I know other people love it. When I was planning our kitchen, the lady said (jokingly) it's a religious issue.

I have this (ours is a Bosch) and it’s wonderful. Cutlery goes from being a jangly hassle to an absolute breeze, and it also means there’s more space in the rest of the washer for everything else.

Yep, same idea as the vertical arrangement in many less expensive models!
