📋 About This Mod
Renames or adds a prefix to various types of items for sorting.
Now compatible with the official Fallout 4 1. 2 patch!
So far two files were created: one for armors (Brotherhood, Pre-War, Railroad, Institute and some other smaller types) and one for misc. items (Holotapes, keys, passwords, notes and some other smaller item types).
I used Fo4Edit to create these ESP files. I can't guarantee that everything is safe since the program is still in a prototype stage but I took care to only change the names of those entries.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod only renames items, it's safe to install mid-playthrough, but back up your save just in case.
- If you use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex, install both files to get full sorting coverage.
- Check the mod's posts section for any user-reported compatibility issues with DLC or other sorting mods.
