Sort button in inventory

I should have added it long ago

This is a good idea, but it depends on what the implementation will be. :sweat_smile:

It is actually useless. You can just sort items by yourself. I understand that you want to save some time but you can simply drop all items and pick them up again. It wil automatically sort your items.

I love JEI and NEI in Minecraft :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Issue being you can’t

The problem with implementing inventory sorting is that you need to maximize the amount of space. Unlike Minecraft, the game has items of different sizes and inventory pages of different sizes aswell. The game cannot just take a list of items and move them one by one.

it would have been worth adding a long time ago*

Nah, muh individual skill expression

This doesn’t really seem possible given how the inventory system works. You’d need a system which can intelligently sort the geometry, like AI - which, implementing ChatGPT into Unturned really doesn’t seem like a good idea.

it’s entirely possible to create a sorting system without adding AI XD

Okay, then you can create a proper algorithm/system to sort it. Sorting inventory for the game wouldn’t be basic math at all, it would have to be a bit complex. We’ve gone over this in other posts before. Unturned isn’t like Minecraft where everything takes up one slot.

The game’s engine and architecture may not support advanced inventory management features without significant modifications. Like adding a sorting system could require extensive changes to the underlying code, which might not be feasible given the game’s current structure and the developer’s priorities.

A lot of work to do actually.

I also want to add to myself that the current system encourages players to think strategically about how they organize their items. This is very fun and helps us not to remain stupid :D. Also if you want sorting system so much, you always can use some kind of shortcuts
