Lightweight Inventory Sorting Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I sort my inventory?
Open your inventory and look for the sort button (usually displayed as an icon in the inventory screen). Click it to sort all items alphabetically, or click again to reverse the order.
Can I sort containers like chests?
Yes, open any chest, barrel, Shulker Box, or Ender Chest and use the same sort button that appears in the container's interface to organize its contents.
Does sorting combine partial stacks automatically?
Yes, when you sort, the mod automatically merges partial stacks of identical items into full stacks, freeing up inventory slots.
What order does alphabetical sorting use?
Items are sorted by their in-game name in alphabetical order from A to Z; click the sort button again to reverse the order to Z to A.
Will sorting mess up my organized chest?
Only if you click the sort button—sorting is always manual, so your containers stay organized until you choose to sort them.
Does this mod work with modded items and blocks?
Yes, the mod sorts any items in your inventory or containers, including those added by other mods, using their registered names.
Can I sort just part of my inventory?
No, sorting applies to the entire inventory or container at once; there's no way to select specific slots to sort.
Does sorting work with enchanted items or NBT data?
Sorting treats enchanted items and items with different NBT data as separate entries, so they won't combine even if they're the same base item.
Is this mod lightweight and safe to use?
Yes, it's designed to have minimal performance impact and doesn't modify world data or cause compatibility issues with other mods.
What do I do if the sort button doesn't appear?
Make sure the mod is properly installed and enabled in your mod loader; if it still doesn't show, try closing and reopening your inventory or container.
