Or at least please let us sort by type... medium from light, jack from gauntlet from guards, etc. This also applies to sorting recipes from food in consumables please.

While we're at it, how about sorting materials by skill?

Seriously, I don't know how they managed to release the inventory as is. I know if I were the one responsible for the inventory management system I'd be out of a job.

This mod shows if you have researched a trait or not on an item. You still have to check for doubles of unresearched item traits if you want to clear out doubles of an item for space and resources. But it greatly speeds up the time of deciding whether to keep an item for research or not.

thats the start ! thanks , now just to add bank checking filter for traits on already stashed items.

Found in the comments of that: http://pastebin.com/2Jt8F0CK (replacement .lua that also shows yellow if more than one of a trait/type combination is in your bank/inventory).

I also have had an item that I wished to know the style of, and I had to deconstruct it to be sure (though I looked at other places first) and I didn't get the style material, so I'm still uncertain. Could there be a mod that shows which style something is next to the slot and type in the tooltip?

The trait indicator is available at http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info111-ResearchAssistant.html, and if you want it to also show whether you have more than one of a trat/type combination then you can replace the .lua with http://pastebin.com/2Jt8F0CK. I've also installed something that lets you see what is currently being researched without going to a crafting station: http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info131-ResearchTracker.html. I'm still looking for a style indicator, materials sorter, and glyph-to-rune translator, but this is a promising start.

Yeah, figured they were good stopgaps if nothing else. Trying to teach myself this kind of modding so I can take care of the other problems. Will update as I make progress.

Research Assistant has been updated and seems a lot better than last time I posted. Also, research tracker was out of date last I checked, but Wykkyd's Toolbar works fine and is less obtrusive. Also, the UESPlog addon (from the wiki at uesp.net) shows item style (e.g. Breton), has a less-sophisticated researched/not researched symbol (which I've disabled, since I have RA), has a chat command to list everything you're researching and how much time it has left, and for provisioning, colors additive names and shows a symbol (blue and purple), shows the recipe level for normal ingredients, and shows a checkmark or ? on recipes (all in similar places to RA) in addition to recording all sorts of data that you could use to help the wiki (though not personal data, more specifics on wiki). Its primary downside so far is that its options are all in chat commands (though /uesphelp lists them for you) and there isn't a menu for it in-game. There was also a bug when ZOS recently released the new facial animations, but the mod creator quickly patched it.
Anyway, those (and some map-related addons) are what I'm using now. If anyone has found an actual sorting mod, please let me know.
