QuickSort
by ViyomOG
QuickSort is a Fabric client mod that sorts inventory chests and containers with one key press, grouping items by category and merging partial stacks.
What it does
Pressing the sort key rearranges the contents of a chest or other container so that items are grouped into categories such as tools and weapons, armor, food, blocks and building materials, redstone components, and miscellaneous resources. Partial stacks of the same item are merged, which frees slots and keeps the inventory tidy without manual moving.
The mod runs on the client alone, so players can use it in single-player and on servers without asking the server owner to install anything. QuickSort requires Fabric API and is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places the code in the public domain, though it is not open source. Files are published for Fabric only, in three game versions: 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build.
Key features
One-key container sorting
A single key press sorts the open chest or container, so arranging items no longer takes several manual steps.
Category grouping
Items are placed into groups for tools and weapons, armor, food, blocks, redstone components and resources.
Partial stack merging
Half-filled stacks of the same item are combined, which reduces the number of occupied slots.
Trash filtering
Smart item grouping and stack optimization include handling for unwanted items, so clutter is reduced over time.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who keep many containers in survival or creative worlds and want a quick way to keep them organized. The mod suits anyone who does not want to install it on a server, since only the client needs it.
How it compares
Inventory Extended is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and works on client, server or both, for 1.21.5 – 26.3, so it covers a wider version range than QuickSort. ChestSorter is client-side only under the Apache License 2.0, but it is published for 1.21.1 alone. Inventory Sorter is client-side only, with a version range of 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and is available for Fabric and NeoForge under All rights reserved.
