Inventory set to Auto not auto sorting Items

[Karma]

Noticed when crafting, items are not auto stacking in my items inventory.Purchasing goods seems to make it sort but zoning does not.Tested this 5 times whilst talking to a GM.File checked game and POL viewer and system restore and still the problem persists.Anyone else had this issue?No third party programs used.

Were you using a flour, or item that doesn't stack? It doesn't auto-sort then.

[Karma]

No lol, I made black bread x4, and it keeps apprearing in 4 instead of stacking to 12.

I know sinle items such as flour don't stack :P

Auto-sort only triggers when the number of items in inventory increases. It's been like that since auto-sort was added.

So in the case of crafting Black Bread, you have the following in inventory:
[1] Fire Crystal x12
[2] Distilled Water x12
[3] Rock Salt x12
[4] Rye Flour
[5] Rye Flour

After crafting once it looks like this:
[1] Fire Crystal x11
[2] Distilled Water x11
[3] Rock Salt x11
[4] Rye Flour
[5] Black Bread x4

And after another synth, it looks like this:
[1] Fire Crystal x10
[2] Distilled Water x10
[3] Rock Salt x10
[4] Black Bread x4
[5] Black Bread x4
Notice how the number of items doesn't change? It's always 5 items before and after crafting, so auto-sort will not trigger.

Next up, you buy some extra Rock Salt x2 from NPC.
[1] Fire Crystal x10
[2] Distilled Water x10
[3] Rock Salt x10
[4] Black Bread x4
[5] Black Bread x4
[6] Rock Salt x2

This increases number of items from 5 to 6, and auto-sort triggers:
[1] Fire Crystal x10
[2] Distilled Water x10
[3] Rock Salt x12
[4] Black Bread x8

Kristal has it correct.
Whenever one item slot is deleted in the crafting process, the auto-sort doesn't update.
Like when crafting logs in lumber or skins into leather.

Thank you for clearing this up seems you have more knowledge than the GM's ^^

Greetings again, Karma!
I am glad to see that others have been able to provide the answers that you were looking for. Unfortunately, GM's are prohibited from providing any information about the game, and if insufficient information is provided in the initial post of a bug report forum thread, GM's are required to request more information from the player. It is great to see your fellow players help you sort out this matter that has caused you confusion, though, and I greatly appreciate Sappho, Kristal, and Daniel_Hatcher for putting you on the path to a better understanding of the item sorting system. If you have any further troubles in the game, please submit as many details as you can in a new thread. Thanks again to all of you for your participation!
