📋 About This Mod

===============

===============

Prefix a description to items, for sorting. Currently has plugins for Books, Magazines, Cards, Food, Chems, Poisons, Crafting parts, Ammo parts, and Mods.

Honest Hearts: I have it but haven't played it yet. If someone can let me know what to class various ingestibles as (food, chem, toxin, whether it's a caft component etc) I could make a sorter for it.

For an actual search box to filter your item list by search string, check out my new Inventory Search.

For a scripted (compatible) item sorter mod, Project Nevada has one built in (defaults to off); however, for a cleaner/newer implementation, I would suggest pushthewinbutton's Universal Item Sorter.
