Usage
To sort an inventory, simply hover over it with your mouse and press the keybind (default: middle mouse button).
The following sorting variations can be applied using modifier keys (Shift
, Control
, Alt
).
- Creative inventory search order
- Descending order of quantity
- Alphabetical order
- Ascending order of item ID
In addition to sorting, ClientSort v2.0.0-beta.1
and later versions include the following
operations:
- Stack Fill
- Attempts to complete all partial stacks in the other inventory using items in the target inventory.
- Transfer
- Attempts to move all items from the target inventory to the other inventory.

Trigger Buttons (v2
)
In addition to keybinds, ClientSort can add small buttons to the inventory screen, which can be used to trigger operations.
- All buttons are disabled by default, but can be enabled via the config menu or the editor screen.
- The editor screen can be opened via a keybind (unbound by default) when viewing an inventory.
- When the buttons are visible, you can right-click on them to open the editor screen.

Slot Ignoring (v2
)
If you want operations to ignore specific slots, you can click on the slots while viewing the editor screen to add them to the ignore-list for that inventory.
Clientside Policies (v2
)
ClientSort uses a policy system to determine when to allow operations, when to show the trigger
buttons, and when to ignore slots. The policy can be configured either via the editor screen or via
the Policies
tab of the mod options.
Read the in-game instructions for more information on editing policies.
Serverside Policies (v2
)
If installed on a server or in singleplayer, ClientSort uses policies to automatically disable server-accelerated operations when it detects an incorrect state (such as item duplication).
The policy list is stored in the clientsort-server.json
config file, which can be manually edited
and reloaded using the /clientsort reload
command.
Serverside policies are not synced to clients, so connected clients may still attempt to sort a disabled inventory (unless they have a client-side policy disabling it), but the server will not perform the operation.
Installation
Client Required, Server Optional
As the name suggests, ClientSort is fully functional when it is only installed on the client. However, if it is also installed on a server, connected clients with the mod will be able to use server-accelerated (near-instant) operations instead of the normal rate-limited operations.
