📖 Applied Sorting

Applied Sorting is a client-side mod that adds ID-based sorting, similar to Refined Storage, to the terminal of Applied Energistics 2.

✨ Features

Adds New Sorting Options: A new sort button is added to the AE2 terminal, allowing you to sort items in the following ways:
- Internal ID: Sorts based on the numerical ID assigned to items internally in the game. This generally sorts items in the order they were registered.
- Resource Location: Sorts based on the resource name, such as minecraft:stone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Applied Sorting need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Applied Sorting as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Applied Sorting require?

Use a file for forge, neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.1.2, 1.21.1, 1.20.6. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Applied Sorting is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
