Quick Inv Sorter
by omueller51
Quick Inv Sorter adds sort buttons and shift-drag quick-moving to inventory screens, for players who manage many items in survival worlds.
What it does
Sorting is offered in five modes: Default alphabetical, Largest First, Rarity, Item and Category. Hovering over a sort button and scrolling cycles through them, and clicking the button applies the selected mode. Each section, whether a container or the player inventory, keeps its own chosen mode, so a chest can sort by category while the player inventory sorts by rarity.
Transfer buttons move a whole container's contents into the player inventory, or the reverse, in a single click. Holding Shift while dragging moves items across slots without clicking each one. Buttons appear only while a storage container is open, and the transfer and sort controls stay hidden in creative player-only inventory screens.
The mod is a lightweight quality-of-life addition for Minecraft Java Edition on Fabric, built for the 1.21.11 game version only. It works in survival worlds and is compatible with most storage containers such as chests and barrels. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its code is under the MIT License, and it is not open source.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players of survival worlds on Fabric 1.21.11 who handle large amounts of items. Servers that run it need the mod on the server side as well.
How it compares
Auto-Sorter is client-side only and open source under the Apache License 2.0, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.11, so a server does not need it. Ai Inventory Sorter is client-side only under the MIT License for 1.21.11 and is not open source. Quick Inv Sorter needs both sides, is not open source, and targets only 1.21.11.
