InvSort
by ThatMasonGuy
InvSort, a Fabric client mod, sorts Minecraft inventories and containers into a clean, predictable order with one button press.
What it does
Supported inventory and container screens get a Sort button. Pressing it rearranges the contents into a consistent order, restacking partial piles and compacting empty gaps so common storage is easier to scan. Players can manage messy chests without moving each stack by hand.
A right-click on the Sort button opens a rules screen. There, specific slots can be protected from sorting, fixed to particular items such as resources, tools or building blocks, and custom category or exact-item orders can be assigned. Rules can be scoped per screen or per container, or set globally. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and runs on the client alone, so servers need nothing installed. It requires Fabric API, and the files cover 1.20 – 26.2 with 3.4.0+mc26.1-26.2 for 26.2 as the latest build.
Key features
One-button sorting
The Sort button on supported inventory and container screens arranges items into a predictable order.
Restacking and compaction
Partial piles are merged and empty gaps are removed before items are laid out, keeping storage tidy.
Protected and fixed slots
Slots can be excluded from sorting or reserved for a particular item, so a chest slot receives only that item.
Custom ordering rules
Category and exact-item orders can be defined on a rules screen, and each rule can apply per screen or per container.

Use cases
Tidying a survival storage chest
A player with a crowded chest can press Sort to group logs, planks, tools and food in one pass.
Keeping a resource slot fixed
A slot can be reserved for stone or another common block so its contents stay in place after each sort.
Who it’s for: Players who keep large storage in survival or on the client side of a multiplayer server, and who want sorting without extra commands.
