Sort your inventory, containers, and backpack with a single click. Automatically merges stacks and arranges items by category.

📂
Container SortOpen any player-placed storage — Wood Box, Tool Cupboard, and more — and a sort button appears at the top of the loot panel. Map-generated crates are never affected. |

Stack MergingBefore sorting, identical items are automatically consolidated up to the maximum stack size, reducing clutter before the final ordering pass. |

How It Works
→
A player with the quicksorter.use
permission opens their inventory, a container, or their backpack.
|
| → A sort button (CUI) is displayed in the appropriate position. The inventory and backpack buttons are drawn once on login and stay in sync with the Tab view automatically. The container button appears when looting starts and disappears when looting ends. |
| → Clicking the button first merges duplicate stacks, then sorts items by category, item name, condition (descending), and quantity (descending). |
Configuration
A configuration file is automatically generated at
oxide/config/QuickSorter.json
on first load. Each of the four buttons can be independently customized.

Important Notes
The sort button only appears on player-placed storage (Wood Box, Small Stash, Tool Cupboard, etc.). Map-generated containers such as Wood Crates, Metal Crates, Toolboxes, and supply crates are intentionally excluded.
The backpack sort button is visible whenever a backpack is equipped and the inventory is open (Tab), regardless of whether the BACKPACK panel is expanded or collapsed. This is a known limitation of vanilla Rust — the server has no event for panel open/close. The button disappears as soon as the backpack is unequipped.
Default button coordinates are calibrated for a 1280×720 reference resolution. Players on other resolutions may see buttons in slightly different positions. Adjust the X/Y offset values in the config to compensate if needed.
