Hi Elaine, I've found that zip ties work very well to line up all the wires in various places along the length of the cords. You can then either feedd them through a piece of a plastic plumbing pipe or actually make a long fabric tube and threading the entiree "pack " of wires through i. Here's a video showing the idea. The suggestion about the desk is towards the last 1/3 of the video.

Hello. I believe there are pro tip proprietary products you can buy and I’ve even seen people use a piece of guttering in the back of the deck concealed behind the furniture to hold the cords.
The products you might find at retail venues might be the most attractive here’s an Amazon link for you to view the boxes sleeves and other devices to corral tangled messy cords that we all have. I hope this helps

OR
Use 3M command hooks — they make little cord clips so you can secure and organize them on the back or under a desk. Plus they are removable. They have holiday light clips (clear) that are a little cheaper than their cable holder (black) version and come in a larger pack.

I bought some cord sleeves from Amazon. They come in white or black. You zip them around the wires and give a neat appearance.
I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but I added a skirt to the table on ring clips and when the desk is in use the curtains are open. When he doesn't use it, we close the curtain. All is hidden.https://www.exquisitelyunremarkable.com/2014/11/ring-clip-skirted-table-easy-diy.html
They do sell cord keepers you could tan them on the under side of the deck

I'm going to opt for the storage box. Thanks to everyone for the great ideas
Ikea has a wire rack that is mounted underneath your desk that houses all your cords out of visual site but accessible and easy to access for real cheap.
Use zap straps or some tape to tie the cords together, Then get adhesive anchor to put under desk and tie the cords up out of the way
There are lots of cable management boxes and holders available out there or just regular old twist ties or zip ties work too.
