Sort It Out!

Sort It Out! is an inventory sorting mod that:

• has configurable sorting;
• works when installed only on the server (even with vanilla clients!);
• works when installed only on the client;
• and allows data-driven custom sort button locations.

How to Use

There are multiple ways to trigger sorting:

1. Double-click an empty slot (configurable) (client or server).
2. Click the sort button (client only).
3. Press the sort keybind (default is I) (client only).

How to Configure

Sort It Out! can be configured via an in-game configuration screen which can be accessed in Mod Menu (Fabric/Quilt) or the mods screen (Forge/NeoForge). In the case that the mod is not installed on the clientside, players can use the /sortitout preferences command to view and update their preferences (which will persist across rejoins and server restarts).

• Packet Send Interval: defines the interval, in ticks, at which packets are sent when sorting on the client side (this will not take effect if the mod is installed on the serverside). Too low of an interval may cause a server to kick you.
• Invert Sorting: whether to invert the sorting order.
• Comparators: a list of comparators to use when comparing item stacks. If the first comparator states that the stacks are equal, the second will be used to break the tie (and so on).
• Slot Sorting Trigger: the action to use to trigger a sort by clicking on a slot. Defaults to double clicking an empty slot, but can be set to clicking the offhand key when hovering a slot.

FAQ

Does this need to be installed on the server/client?

Sort It Out! works in any configuration – as long as the mod is installed on one of the server or the client.

• Server only: any player without the mod (even vanilla clients) will be able to double-click to sort (by default) and use /sortitout to change their preferences.
• Client only: players can join any server regardless of whether the server has the mod and will be able to double-click or use the sort buttons to sort. The config screen can be used to change preferences.
• Server and Client (recommended): players can sort using double-click or the sort buttons. The command or config screen can be used to change preferences.
