• Press the button, or hover over the inventory with your mouse and press the keybind (default: middle mouse button).
• When activated, items are sorted by their position in the creative inventory search tab. Alternative sort orders can be used by holding down a modifier key while sorting.
  • Shift - descending order of quantity.
  • Control - alphabetical order.
  • Alt - ascending order of item ID.

• Press the button, or hover over the inventory that you want to move items out of and press the keybind (default: unbound).
• When activated, partial stacks in the other inventory are topped-up using items in the origin inventory.
• This button is disabled on the player inventory by default, but can be enabled via the editor (see below).

• Press the button, or hover over the inventory that you want to move items out of and press the keybind (default: unbound).
• When activated, the other inventory is restocked using items in the origin inventory. No new item types are added to the other inventory.

• Press the button, or hover over the inventory that you want to move items out of and press the keybind (default: unbound).
• When activated, as many items as possible are moved from the origin inventory to the other inventory.

• Slot ignoring:
  • Exclude slots from being processed by operations.
  • Configurable via the editor screen.
• Auto operations:
  • Automatically perform an operation (e.g. sorting) when opening an inventory.
  • Configurable via the editor screen.
• Scoping:
  • Include or exclude the hotbar and extra slots from being processed with the inventory.
  • Configurable via mod config, General tab.
• Sorting overrides:
  • Always sort specific items to the start or end.
  • Configurable via mod config, Sorting tab.
• Matching overrides:
  • Ignore NBT data (e.g. enchantments) when comparing items in sort or restock operations.
  • Configurable via mod config, Matching tab.
• Interaction sounds:
  • Play a sound when clicking in client-side operations.
  • Configurable via mod config, Sounds tab.

• The editor can be opened in two ways:
  • If a trigger button is visible, right-click on it.
  • Otherwise, bind the Open Editor keybind (unbound by default) and press it while viewing an inventory.
• When you've opened the editor, hover over Instructions for more information.
• Note: fill and transfer buttons are only shown if set to show on both the player inventory and the container, so you can easily hide them everywhere by hiding them on just the player inventory.

• 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.

• If installed on a dedicated server, ClientSort can use 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 if a client attempts to perform a server-accelerated operation that the server does not allow, a warning message will be shown to the client. The player can then opt to add a client-side policy to disable the operation entirely, disable server acceleration, or enable automatically falling back to client operations.
