Huffle Sort
by zjhendryx
Huffle Sort is a Fabric client mod that sorts the items in an inventory, hotbar or storage chest with a single key press.
What it does
Pressing the sort key, R by default, reorders the items in whichever container is open. A storage chest is sorted on its own, while the personal inventory screen sorts the inventory and hotbar together. Partial stacks of the same item are merged before the order is applied, so fewer slots end up in use.
Items follow an opinionated arrangement: most items are placed toward the top left of the grid, and food with a custom name is moved to the bottom right. The key can be rebound in the controls menu. The author states the mod was written mainly to sort the hotbar, inventory and storage chests, and notes that the order logic is still unfinished.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and servers run without it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.19.3, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file.
Key features
Sort inventory and hotbar
One key press arranges the player inventory and hotbar in a fixed order.
Sort storage chests
When a chest or other storage container is open, only that container is sorted.
Merge partial stacks
Stacks of the same item are combined before sorting, which frees slots for other items.
Custom food placement
Food items with custom names are moved to the bottom right, while other items go to the top left.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Tidying a storage chest
A player with a large chest of mixed materials can press the key once to group similar items instead of sorting by hand.
Organizing a full inventory
Players with a crowded inventory and hotbar can clear partial stacks and bring items into a predictable layout.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.19.3 who want fewer manual steps when tidying containers and their own inventory. The mod is suited to players who accept its fixed item order.
How it compares
Flow Sort is the closest alternative for sorting: it is client-side only and built for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.18.2 – 26.2, under the MIT License. Quick Sort is licensed under the MIT License and covers only 26.1 – 26.2, and it needs both client and server. Inventory++ is a Fabric mod for 26.2 that works on both client and server, and it is not open source.

If you're going to use a mod to help sort your items, then I believe that it needs to at least be able to sort them in the style that you would if you were taking the time to sort them manually. Sadly while there were some great inventory sorting mods out there, they all seemed to miss something that I needed. For…
