AE2 Random Sorting
by celeryyyyyyy
AE2 Random Sorting makes the terminals of the AE2 storage system sort their item lists in a random order.
What it does
Installed AE2 terminals show their contents in a shuffled order instead of the usual sorted list. The mod only changes how those terminals display items and does not alter storage or crafting. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, across 8 release versions 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, under the BSD 2-Clause License, which is not open source.
Key features
Random terminal sorting
The AE2 terminals list items in a random order rather than by name, count or another sort.
Single purpose
The mod does one thing: it only adds random sorting to AE2 terminals and changes nothing else.
Client-side display
The sorting happens on the client, so the change applies to the display of each terminal.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.

What the author says
Very simple mod that only adds random sorting to AE2 terminals. The random order is powered by SecureRandom and SHA-256, which is wildly overqualified for arranging your ingots. Nothing else, so if you want fancy tweaks, check out other mods.
