Client-side Lua Script to add an UI to containers which has sort functionality.

There are 5 buttons in total: [olist] [*]Sort by Alphabet, sort every item in the container by alphabetical order [*]Sort by Category [*]Merge Stacks, if possible, merge identical items together. [*]Toggle Recursive Sort: If an item inside this container is a container itself, and this option is on, then the inside of that item and containers deeper inside will all be sorted. [*] Toggle TreatContainersAsTheirFirstItem: If this option is on, all items in this container that are containers themselves will be viewed by the sorting algorithm as its first item. i.e. A Storage Container filled with Iron will be sorted as if it's an "Iron" item instead of "Storage Container", and a "Stun Baton" filled with a "Battery Cell" will be sorted as if it's a Battery Cell. [/olist]

There is also a search bar to search for items.

Installation Notes: [olist] [*]Install the client Lua For Barotrauma [*]Subscribe to this mod [*]If the in-game console does not automatically output running information, enter cl_reloadlua on the console [*](You don't need to enable this content package; once you complete the steps above, the script will run automatically) [/olist]

Disable instructions: [olist] [*]Unsubscribe or delete this folder: %LocalAppData%\Daedalic Entertainment GmbH\Barotrauma\WorkshopMods\Installed\2891181800 [/olist]
