[CrisGer]

well i did see a button for sorting but not sure if it works or not, i am just trying to solve the first problem first, combining entries so that i dont have duplicates and triplicates taking up space.

Wait a minute, I missed it. Where is the button?

Also I just discovered that on PS3 clicking X in an item in the inventory it selects it and we can move it around. That should help stacking as Bixby was saying. It was actually logical, but there are so many buttons to press on the controller that one loses the meaning of them. At the beginning I thought the double click for X was a bug.

The auto-sort "button" is a checkbox in the config screen somewhere. Don't get your hopes up. It really doesn't do very much.

Honestly... I actually have no idea what it accomplishes. I've had it enabled from the get-go. I do know that it only does whatever it does when you actually receive an item, but I couldn't tell you the difference between the behavior with the box checked and without. Perhaps this is why potions and food always go on inventory tab 3 (except when it's full)? My items do stack themselves, so maybe that's it.

My inventory is still a hot mess. Materia all over the place, crafting mats scattered around like whoa.

iirc auto sort is coming on 2.1 patch so no, the autosort in ur config settings doesn't do anything

[HEC]

No - Autosort works already (why would be there otherwise the option in the setting??). All you need to do is to activate it either with empty inventory or dump all your items to retainers after activating it and then take the items back. I does sort items for me (put different items types in dfifferent pages of inventory) but it's not really that efficient especially once you fill-up your directory. With the 2.1 patch should come more "advace" sorting option.

[Michelasso]

Oh, that will be great then!! Also if the retainers do not have enough space there is a second option which came to my mind: sell everything to a shopper and buy back. Just hope the connection won't fail in the meantime!!

[Conradus]

It doesn't matter. It really doesn't. We now have more inventory than was ever available in either FFXIV or FFIX, by a large margin. Yet people still complain about how it's not enough. It doesn't matter how much space they give you, it will never be enough if you can't manage it.

You can only buy back the last 10 things you sell and I think they don't store the history forever, maybe cleared it when you log out?
