Chest Inv Sort
by frittenfuchs
Chest Inv Sort lets players sort the items in a chest or container and the player inventory with a key press, and it is set up on Forge for 1.20.4 – 1.20.6.
What it does
Pressing a configured key while a chest menu is open sorts the items in that chest, and the same key sorts the player inventory when no chest is open. By default the middle mouse button triggers the sort, and the key can be reassigned to any keyboard or mouse button. Settings are found under Options, then Controls, then Key binds, in the ChestInvSort Mod section. The mod needs to be present on both the client and the server, and the project is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Sort chests and inventories
Items in an open chest or in the player inventory are arranged in one press, grouped by type and block before item.
Configurable sort key
The default middle mouse button sorts items, and any keyboard key or mouse button can be assigned instead.
Alphabetical ordering
Within each group, items are sorted by name so related stacks end up next to each other.
