Better Item Sorting
Iconic Tweets: Today we take a look at 10 Quality of Life mods for Fallout. While looking at your inventory in the pip-boy or in trade menus, press the sprint button to sort your items by weight, value, and a few other options I didn't pay too close attention too last night. I'll check and update later if I get the chance. Very handy for figuring out what to drop/sell/scrap first. Edit: I assume its LS on both consoles.
Stuff this mod sorts:
[Materials] (“Raw” material like Steel and other items that can be used for crafting aswell.
[Caps] (Pre-War Money, so you don’t scrap it ^^ )
[Holotapes and Notes] (Grouped together because the wikipage I used to find them in the file had them grouped and to save time. I also noticed the wikia missed many of them so i tried to search the file and add as many as i could find)
[Keys] (Keys i could find in the file)
Fallout 4 Item Sorting Modes
Important!
This mod works by changing the language translation file some items had several strings in this file e.g. Steel had 4 lines and i changed them all to [Material] Steel, so far i haven’t detected any problems and it’s easy to uninstall the mod if you start seeing the [TAGS] in places they shouldn’t be. There may also be Keys and Notes etc i have missed.
Installing:
1.Backup your existing Fallout 4DataStringsFallout4_en.STRINGS file. (I have also uploaded the original file)
2.Extract the folder to your Fallout 4 directory.
Uninstalling:
1. Replace Fallout 4DataStringsFallout4_en.STRINGS with your backup. (or the original in the file section)
Final words:
constructive criticism and tips are welcome, reporting missed keys, holotaps and potentially bugs would be appreciated. Hope this mod will be of use 🙂

Additional Optional Mod: Valdacil's Item Sorting - Not Junk
----------------------------
The primary goal with this mod is to move some items from Junk that are high in value (value/weight ratio around 50), can be used as currency (cigars and cigarettes), are quest items, or I considered collectible. See the readme for specific items. There is also an option to have only Pre-War Money, Gold bar, Silver bar be Not Junk.
