Sophisticated Sorter

by MerrySnow

Sophisticated Sorter brings the sorting features of the Sophisticated series to the inventory of the player and to chests, barrels and other containers.

FabricForgeNeoForgeGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1 – 26.1.2

What it does

One button performs the sort and the other cycles the sort mode. Players used to the Sophisticated series' sorting should find the controls unchanged, and the hotkey, which defaults to R, sorts from screens that show no sort buttons at all.

When the open screen qualifies, the mod sorts the container itself instead of the player inventory, so chests and barrels get the same sorting behavior. The hotkey and the buttons follow one target rule: a suitable container screen is sorted, and anything else falls back to the player's own items. Buttons appear only when a container screen passes the current filters and is not blacklisted. Button placement is stored per container type, so moving the buttons on a chest leaves barrels untouched.

The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 21 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.1.2. The latest Fabric file is 1.1.1 for 1.21.1, the latest Forge file is 1.1.1 for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 1.1.1 for 26.1, all dated 2026-09-14.

Key features

  1. Sorting on the player inventory

    The sort buttons and hotkey work on the player inventory as well as on containers that qualify.

  2. Hotkey without buttons

    The default R hotkey sorts even on screens that do not display sort buttons.

  3. Ignored slot ranges

    A slot range can be marked so that its slots are never sorted.

  4. Fixed slot memory

    An item can be assigned to a specific slot in a container, and no other item can be placed there.

Questions

Which loaders does Sophisticated Sorter support?

The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, so the loader must match the one the rest of the setup uses.

Does a container need the buttons to be sorted?

No. The hotkey sorts the container when the screen qualifies and otherwise sorts the player's own items, even where no buttons appear.

Which game versions have files?

Files exist for 21 versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 and then 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2.

Sophisticated Sorter extends the container sorting (and related) features that come with the Sophisticated series so they work on the player inventory and on every usable container.
