Better Sorting Expanded

Description
Better Sorting Expanded!
Expands on Better Sorting to include more granular categories.

Many items are manually sorted into new categories, but the mod also tries to apply some logic to the sorting of items based on their name and other attributes, just like Better Sorting.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions for new categories or mods that should be included in the list above, or if you see items that you think are not sorted correctly.

This mod is safe to install or remove at any time and works in both single and multiplayer.

New Categories
Cooking
  • Container - Liquid: Anything that can hold water.
  • Cooking - Beverage: Items you can create beverages with.
  • Cooking - Condiment: Oils, sauces, etc.
  • Cooking - Container: Pans and other stuff you can cook in.
  • Cooking - Cup: Cups. That's it.
  • Cooking - Serving: Bowls and plates (if you use ServingPlates).
  • Cooking - Spice: Put your salt and pepper in spice racks with this category!
  • Cooking - Tool: Things used in cooking.
  • Cooking - Utensil: Forks, spoons, etc... Might not be useful but at least it's not "Item" or "Junk".
Crafting
  • Crafting - Building: Stuff you might use for working on your cozy apocalypse house.
  • Crafting - Building - Paint: Paint brushes and cans.
Food
  • Food - Canned: Canned food
  • Food - Jarred: Jars (I don't think this one works properly yet)
  • Food - Perishable - Beverage: No more rotten milk in kitchen cabinets!
  • Food - Perishable - Fish
  • Food - Perishable - Meat
  • Food - Perishable - Serving: Finished plates/bowls/pans of food.
Tool
Tools are now sorted into subcategories based on the relevant skill.
  • Tool - Carpentry
  • Tool - Cleaning
  • Tool - Electrical
  • Tool - Farming
  • Tool - Mechanics
  • Tool - Medical
  • Tool - Metalworking
  • Tool - Survival
  • Tool - Tailoring
Other Categories
  • Mechanics - Paint: Used if PaintYourRide is enabled for automotive paints.
  • Money: Used if ZBAY is enabled to keep your money out of the trash can.
Mods with custom categories
These mods have some or all of their items sorted into custom categories manually.


Updated for 41.78. Please let me know if you encounter any issues.

Hello, author. If I want to provide localized translations, how should I contact you?

By changing tools to be in specific categories rather than just tools, it removes the ability to put them in the tool belt from The Workshop mod

I don't know how this would be done but it would be great if ammo was at the top with weapons on the list when looting with 'proximity inventory' so I wouldn't have to scroll all the way down on massive piles of bodies repeatedly.

Finally! There had been a serious need for an up-to-date sorting mod for a while.

By any chance, did you miss categorizing the pipe wrench? Seems like it's the only tool i have that just says "Tool" with no subcategories.

@thecarvalhogamer only English, if you want to help translate the categories to other languages I can implement it!

@Aush ah, it's just a translation thing. I'll see if I can fix it soon.
