About Bag Sort

I will no longer maintain this or any of my addons after December 2008. If you have one or more addons on curse.com and are interested in committing to the maintenance of one or more of my addons, please send me a private message.

Important Changes in 2.0

1. All bags are now sorted, including special-purpose bags.

2. You can now sort your bank when the bank window is open with /banksort.

3. Sorting is MUCH faster and slightly smarter.

Summary

Tired of digging through your bags for that elusive quest item and painstakingly rearranging items to maintain some semblance of organization?

Fret no more! Bag Sort will quickly and easily sort your bags and bank with quick slash commands. Your trade goods, vendor trash, auction house loot, quest items and reagents will quickly hop into an easy-to-understand layout, ready for that next trip to the auction house and merchant. There's no setup necessary, and no weird 'fake' bags to deal with. Just /bagsort or /banksort and watch your bags sort themselves!

Usage

No setup necessary. Just type /bagsort at any time to sort your bags, or /banksort while your bank window is open. The sorting process takes only a few moments in the worst case, and will be faster if you've sorted recently.

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

if at all possible, can you look into figuring out why leather bags don't sort properly, like bag of many hides or even the leather workers satchel

It works, you just have to update the version number inside the .toc file:

a) browse to your World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons\Bag_Sort folder
b) double click "Bag_Sort.toc"
c) choose "open with program from list" or whatever (2nd option)
d) scroll down and choose wordpad / ok
e) open it with wordpad, see the line at the top that says:

## Interface: 20300

f) change that line to:

## Interface: 20400

g) save the file, restart wow. Have fun.

I love this addon! A friend had me try Mr. Plow, but I didn't like it. Not only did it take forever to sort through my bags, but sometimes didn't sort it properly and would leave identical items in two different areas altogether (for example, a stack of heavy leather would be in bag 1 while another stack of heavy leather would stay in bag 4). BagSort sorts it the way I like, so I am continuing to use it.

I did find an issue, though. I recently bought and equipped a Bag of Many Hides on my Paladin. This addon does not work with that bag equipped because I get an error message from WoW saying, "Only Leatherworking items can go in that bag." Because the addon is trying to put items in there and doesn't realize there is an error, it is leaving my bags unsorted.

This mod is nice, but for OCD people like myself, this isn't exactly the way i want to sort my bags. Is it possible to add a setting feature to allow custom sorting? For example i like my mounts along with my hearthstone in my first bag.. regents and engineering stuff in second bag.. etc.

I have been looking through the source, and toying around with it, the part where I am stuck is I just need to under stand how you do your ranges, I hope you answers my email, So I can get to work on it.

I have a few questions...
1:
sortBagRange({-1, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5})
This is the BANK range
How do you calculate this, I have not found any pattern. It must be by rows and columns.

2:
sortBagRange({4, 3, 2, 1, 0})
This is the bags you have,
This I can see a pattern, or think I do, correct me if I am wrong, the 4 3 2 1 and 0 I think has to do with the fact that your backpack, the non bag is 0, and 1 is the first bag 2 is the second etc.

If you could explain to me the range you have set up, I will probably be able to add a guild function.

Thanks for your time,
Chris

This AddOn's great and has just what I needed minus just one thing for me, I would like to sort my armour by min level and then item level so it's easy to find items for an alt when searching through my bank alts.

I have found that the itemname that is used in the code will return the following:

itemLevel
Integer - The item level of this item.

itemMinLevel
Integer - The minimum level required to use the item, 0 meaning no level requirement.

I think these are what I’m after.

I have also found the search order used in the code

newItem.sortString = newItem.sortString .. itemType .. itemSubType .. itemEquipLoc .. itemName

However before simply adding in the extra bits and changing the order I have noticed that there is no reference to the extra bits of info I need from itemname in the code

local itemName, _, itemRarity, _, _, itemType, itemSubType, _, itemEquipLoc, _ = GetItemInfo(itemLink)

is the _ (underscore) a place holder for the additional information supplied by iteminfo and would I need to add my itemLevel and itemMinLevel before I amend the newItem.sortString, if this is what I need to do could you let me know where the itemLevel and itemMinLevel should be placed?

Of course not being an AddOn writer I could be barking completely up the wrong tree and therefore any advise you could supply would be gratefully appreciated.

Thank you, BoyFrary.

add an ignore feature for shard bags, because sorting a shard bag is just time consuming when they are all the same.

Well Bagsort places most of the items in the last bag & moves toward the 1st. I would like to have the option of setting mining pick, blacksmith hammer, etc in the very last slot, then have my other sets of armor in the next available slots, reagents after that, then food/drink in my backpack where I can easily use it. Someone else may want a completely different arrangement. It would just bne nice if a way to configure that was implemented.

On top of that, when it sorts items it does not place all herbs next to each other and all ore next to each other, etc... and instead sort of scrambles them with just the type of ore/herb all being together. The mod is great if you have a bank toon for just one type of item, but kind of useless if its just a general bank toon or a character you actually play.

Gorehunter: Are you running the latest version? I remember checking that particular element of sorting very intentionally before my last release. I verified that copper ore goes next to copper bars, tin ore next to tin bars, etc etc. Also, are you using the English client?

Just to add it also separates the different types of food/drink instead of placing them together. Any way you could change that?

This Mod is absolutely worthless right now---we all like our bags sorted differently, it needs to be completely customized IMHO.

This mod is really nice, a bit more customazation would be great though... like having certain types of items at the bottom of your bags and other types at the top. Right now it has my mining pick in the 1st avail slot & my food a few bags in... would be nice to reverse that.

Gorehunter: Okay so the way it works is your valuable stuff is supposed to be pushed higher into your bags, while the stuff you'd want to ditch (sell to a vendor?) is pushed toward the bottom. The mining pick, skinning knife, etc are going to be placed higher in your bags next version, because presumably you don't want to sell them. Anyway, that's the reason your food goes up high rather than into your standard backpack. If you're having trouble finding your food when you need it, a good way to approach the problem is to drag your food/water to one of the bonus action bars, which you can turn on in the interface options menu. Now you can get to them faster, and the button never moves. :)
