Quick Sort
by Kerl0s_
Quick Sort sorts the inventory chests a player has open with a single click, and merges partial stacks of the same item first.
What it does
Two dedicated buttons start a sort. One sorts the player's personal inventory, the other sorts the container being viewed, such as a chest or another block inventory. Partial stacks of the same item are combined before sorting, which can free up extra slots. Equipped gear stays in place because a press of the sort button leaves the hotbar, armor slots and offhand alone.
Sorting runs on the server side, so it works the same in singleplayer and on multiplayer servers. The mod is described by its author as a lightweight utility. It is published for Fabric only, across 4 release versions 26.1 – 26.2, and is open source under the MIT License. Installation covers the server and each player's game.
Key features
One-click sorting
A single click on either button sorts the chosen inventory without any command or setup.
Stack merging
Partial stacks of the same item are combined automatically before sorting, freeing up slots.
Protected slots
A sort never moves anything in the hotbar, the armor slots or the offhand.
Server-side sorting
The sort is performed on the server, which keeps it consistent across singleplayer and multiplayer.
