InvSort is a lightweight Fabric client mod that adds fast, practical inventory sorting to Minecraft. It cleans up messy inventories and containers without making you manually drag every stack around.
It focuses on predictable survival-friendly sorting: restacking partial piles, compacting empty gaps, and ordering items in a way that keeps common storage readable. Use it on its own, or alongside InvSearch and InvCatalogue as part of the wider inventory management suite.
Open supported inventories and containers to use the Sort button. Right-click that button to open the rules screen, where you can protect slots, assign exact items to specific slots, and control the order that categories or exact items should follow.
The rules screen has separate Slots and Order views. Use Slots when you want parts of an inventory or chest to stay untouched, or when one slot should only receive a particular item. Use Order when you want logs, planks, tools, stone, food, or exact items to appear in your preferred sequence.
