Client Sort Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I sort my inventory with Client Sort Mod?
Hover your cursor over the inventory or container you want to sort and press the middle mouse button. The items will rearrange automatically into a tidy order.
What key do I press to sort items?
By default it's the middle mouse button. Just hover over the inventory screen and click it to trigger a sort.
How do I change the sorting order?
Hold Shift, Control, or Alt while pressing the sort key to use a different sorting order. Each modifier gives you a distinct arrangement, so you can pick whichever fits what you're doing.
Why does the middle mouse button do nothing when I try to sort?
Your middle mouse button is likely bound to another function, such as pick block, or your mouse doesn't register a middle click. Rebind the sort key in the mod's controls or use a mouse that supports middle clicking.
Can I sort chests and other containers, or only my inventory?
You can sort chests and other containers too. Hover over the container's screen and press the sort key, and its contents will be organized the same way as your inventory.
Will sorting a chest mess up my inventory?
No, sorting a container only rearranges that container's contents. Your own inventory stays as it is unless you sort it separately.
Does Client Sort Mod work on servers?
Yes, it's a client-side mod, so it works on servers without needing to be installed server-side. The sorting happens on your client, so other players won't see any difference.
Can I change the sort key to something other than middle mouse?
Yes, you can rebind the sort key in the mod's controls settings. This is useful if your middle mouse button is already used for something else or doesn't work.
Does Client Sort Mod affect performance or cause lag?
Sorting is a quick, on-demand action, so it has minimal impact on performance. You may notice a brief moment when sorting a very full inventory, but it shouldn't cause ongoing lag.
Is Client Sort Mod compatible with other inventory mods?
It generally works alongside other client-side inventory mods, but conflicts can happen if another mod also uses the middle mouse button or the same keybind. If sorting stops working, check your keybind conflicts.
