​
ChestSort can automatically sort every chest, barrel, etc. after you have used it. Every player can enable or disable this feature if desired with the simple command /sort (or /chestsort). Players can also sort their own inventory using the command /invsort, or automatically using /invsort on|off. You can also use hotkeys (middle-click, double-click, shift-click and shift+right-click) within player inventories, chests etc. to have them sorted, if you do not wish automatic sorting.

The chest contents are sorted by category and/or alphabetically and stackable things will be stacked. By default, items will be put before blocks. Automatic sorting will work with chests, enderchests, shulker boxes, barrels, minecarts with chest and player inventories. The same applies to using hotkeys.

Wool, Terracotta and other dyeable blocks will also be sorted by color, tools by their material, etc. The sorting algorithm can be changed. There is absolutely no chance of item loss / duplication or metadata corruption! Guaranteed!

By default, sorting is disabled. Players need the "chestsort.use" permission to use chest sorting, or the "chestsort.use.inventory" permission to sort their inventory.

If a player uses a chest for the first time after logging in, they will be shown a text on how to enable automatic chest sorting if they have the permission to use ChestSort. Sorting can also be disabled for certain worlds.
