And there’s the brilliance of tabbies. 
A brute type of sorting, while not quite sorted.
God I am such a wee li’ll genius. XD
Ideally sorted tabs 
.
If I look at the ammo tab I would like the same sort of ammo together in the list rather than spread all over the 50 or so items so I can easily see how much .44 Magnum ammo of each type I have, for example.
Not sure why anyone would object to a sorted list of items 
.
My storage is now full and having to trawl up and down to make sure I have counted how many of each ammo type I have so I know what I can trash to make space is really quite tedious.

You really need to have filters or at least keep everything in the box alphabetical. Not sure why I have to search for like items down the whole list to get them all.
Or is this a feature I just am not able to figure out how to use?
It’s not a feature. Right now the only way to sort your box is to remove everything, and then re-add it in alphabetical order. Then repeat the process every time you add or (completely) remove something. Also, there’s no way to do both this AND sort your inventory. It’s a much needed feature.

Please, please, make it easy to sort out your stuff in the plunder box, how about simply being able to delete (drop, throw out or discard) stuff you no longer want. Having to take it onto your person, then exit the box, then go into your inventory, scroll through to find it again then drop it is a pain … a simple ‘delete’ feature is all we need. The scrolling system is a nightmare too, if you have 2 or more of the same things - I’m thinking especially scopes, silencers, mags, etc please can it say that I have 2 under the same line and not have one at the top and another at the bottom of a huge scrolling menu, it’s a nightmare to go through. Every now and then I have to write down what I have to try and sort it out.
My first post here, bit of a moan but I wonder if the devs listen as this seems a topic I see mentioned over and over. Otherwise really enjoy the game, but I’d rather be playing it than doing an hour of admin …

You guys really need to try and pretend you are “in the game” and immersive yourself in reasons why you can’t sort. I like to think I have a big rucksack which I literally throw things into in a hurry before I dash off to my next encounter. And we all know what rucksacks are like after throwing stuff into them for an hour? A mess! So while under fire, you just have to imagine yourself rummaging through your rucksack, trying to find that little bit of ammo you threw in there over an hour ago, which is now buried under empty juice bottles (we don’t litter, even post apocalypse), gas canisters and bits of Kendal Mint Cake. And when it all settles down, imagine yourself finding a little safe place somewhere under a tree, emptying the whole damn thing out onto the floor and putting it all back again - neatly.
Simple.

Is everyone aware of having a mule character in order to organise your gear more effectively?
It allows you to put gear in a specific order in your inventory.

Ok, I get it a bit with the rucksack thing ‘in game’ but our characters don’t even have a rucksack, in game I’d be getting rucksacks, webbing, kit, etc of the dead soldiers or from army bases for carrying my stuff, I’d also be quite organised as that’s the way I am, although I don’t think I’d get far carrying the weight that we can. But, I was talking about the plunder storage, if I was ‘in game’ I’d simply just take stuff out and chuck it on the floor if I didn’t want it, I wouldn’t add it to my already overburdened rucksack take it somewhere else then empty it to go through it again
Having just joined I didn’t think of searching, hope that something will be done as this thread was posted 6 months ago and nothing new for 2 months, so still needs mentioning?
I’ve only been playing it for 2 months, have no idea about having a ‘mule character’, is this easy to do?
Check your messages my friend.
The inventory management is easily the worst part of the game and I found it to negatively influence my experience. First off, being able to sort each category by weight, alphabetically, by weapon class its used on (for attachements) or rarity etc. and being able to save those filters all the time would be a great help. Moving around stuff like you want should be a standard. There is no in-game or logics explanation for this and there doesn’t have to be, we are talking pure quality of life here.
The next step would be a loot filter and more intuitie controls. I’m on PC and it’s unnerving that I have to click an item and then press E to take it instead of simply having to hover my mouse over it and being able to press E. Then, we need a button for “collect stack” to not have to confirm that we really want to take the whole stack. Did anyone ever loot a rival that dropped 20 shots of 50. cal and thought ‘well, today I’m only taking three of those’? Loot filters that can be configured to ignore certain items would be a boon for quick and eficient looting. Got your resource storage full and only want new resources? Ignore steel, plastic etc. Don’t need any 9mm FMJ ammo? Ignore it while still being able to quickly loot a fallen tank.
This kind of stuff would improve my experience A LOT.
I find it hard at times to locate items in inventory and had to transfer items from storage to char inventory to organize it. Can there be a feature to organize the inventory?
Thank you for showing me. I have been using my phone to search for topics (which didn’t really help) and ended up making more topics than I should have. After realizing this, I’ve move searching through my computer.

My friends and I have recently comeback to the game after a hiatus. We finished the main story line a while back and have now purchased Alpine Unrest. We are really enjoying it.
What is immediately apparent is the features and upgrades to the game that you have added during our time away. However, there are some improvements that I think everyone would appreciate.
The inventory system needs to be streamlined, both for the regular inventory and clothing.
For the regular inventory (carried and Plundra), it would be extremely useful to be able to sort whichever item type I am looking at by certain relevant information.
-
Ammo types: sort by quantity, caliber, guns they work with, etc. Having to scroll through a load of different ammo types looking for 1 in particular is frustrating to say the least (side note: 9mm smg and handgun should really be the same thing, there is no real reason for the two separate types in game). This way all 7.62 types could be next to one another. Or I could just find what I have most of and take that.
-
Guns: sort by ammo types, number of crowns, name. Sorting by name will allow me to see if i have multiple of the same type of weapon quickly. sorting by ammo type means my friends don’t have to ask me what type of ammo goes with which gun every time the run out of ammo with one gun or another.
-
Attachments: sort by equipped, what it can be attached to, number of crowns. It is not obvious what can be attached to what. Being able to sort by compatible PVG90 attachments (for instance) would be great, instead of having to remember the “rifle scope” doesn’t work with that rifle for some reason.
-
Gear (sprocket/cog): sort by gear type (health packs, explosives, noise makers, emp, etc. grouped together), and weight. having to scroll through my inventory looking for simple health packs knowing that they must be in there is infuriating. Same with looking for weight I can drop once waddle mode has been activated.
Secondly the clothing inventory could use a tweaking. Since I can make clothing for different purposes and I can carry an infinite amount of clothing, it would be great if I could quickly find clothing that I like, or that has one advantage or another. Wearing camo to sneak up on baddies and then being able to change into bullet resistant clothing would be ideal. Currently I am afraid If I change my clothes I will lose the shirt I am wearing in a sea similar “less good” shirts.
I know you posted recently about Molotov cocktails and a grenade launcher, maybe being added, and those sound great, as can other big changes to the game I can think of. However, these (I think) smaller requests will go a long way.
I look forward to everything new you bring us in the future! But I am hoping these requests come sooner rather than later.

Wholeheartedly agree 
I bug the devs about this issue from time to time, but so far I haven’t heard anything definitive 
I totally agree. The actual “sorting” is a mess. It’s “sorting” changes constantly when things are added or removed making it impossible to even get a grip for once.
It’s even more tiring when the sorting changes all of a sudden.
The whole sorting could be implemented very easily using meta data. For example introducing a meta data key of “caliber” the values could just be in mm (or even in µm for easier sorting; conversions can be found here as an example (sorry it’s in German, couldn’t find a comprehensive list in English) http://www.hassel-online.net/WaffenMun/umrechnungen.html).
For other more arbitrary sorting a fictional ranking can be implemented. For instance in the gear section a integer based ranking can be implemented ranging from 0 to whatever number. The best practice is to have the items rank in 10 or 100 steps leaving enough space to add more items later down the line. This way the user could sort in both directions easily and the sorting algorithm isn’t hardware taxing.
