Easy Sort
by imndllnuri
Easy Sort is a lightweight inventory and chest sorting mod that players trigger with one hotkey to tidy a container.
What it does
A single key sorts the open container using a stable, configurable ordering, and partial stacks of the same item are merged during the sort. Sorting works on chests, double chests, barrels and other chest-type containers, and on the player inventory when its screen is open. The mod targets a vanilla feel rather than adding a new inventory interface.
Quick Stack moves matching items from the player inventory into the open container, and Restock tops up existing partial stacks without moving whole stacks. The sort order itself is set in the settings screen, where players choose how items are arranged, for example by item ID, count or name. Every key is rebindable.
Easy Sort requires Fabric API on Fabric, and NeoForge needs no extra API. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across five release versions, 1.21.10 – 26.2, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Sort container hotkey
Pressing S sorts the open chest, double chest, barrel or other chest-type container in one step.
Sort inventory
The same key sorts the player inventory when its screen is open, so both areas stay in order.
Quick Stack
Q moves everything that matches the open container from the player inventory into it.
Restock
R tops up existing partial stacks in the player inventory from the container, leaving empty slots alone.
Configurable sort order
The settings screen, opened with G, lets players choose the sort order, such as by item ID, count or name.
