Inventory sorting - any walkaround?

Conan Exiles General Discussion
1

Dear community,
I would like to ask if there is some way or trick to keep the inventory sorted when interacting with another storage container, thrall or bench.

situation: My inventory is sorted by Type. when interacting with a storage container sometimes I cannot store items or take any items from the container.
When this happens I have to change inventory sorting to unsorted and then it works and I can take items from container or give items to container.

Is there some trick to keep the sorting on and still be able to interact with other storage container? It seems to me that it could be some item in my inventory that cause this bug or whats the problem.

platform: Xbox series X ; playing both exiles and siptah (on siptah this problem is worse and sorting issue happens far more often)

Edit: just for clarification … by interaction with a storage container I obviously mean taking items from it or putting items into it

thanks in advance for tips.

Sorting by heaviest first and no sort on the containers has worked the best for me. It’ll hiccup sometimes but usually it works.

Some times the game will change your sort system.

But don’t worry about it, lively villages that no one wanted is more important then fixing a months old inventory menu bug.

Hi DeaconElie,
ohh yes the living settlement will keep the staff busy since loosing valuable thralls is a disaster.

I would argue that sorting issues - together with falling through foundations - is one of the most disasterous long term pain in … the constant tedious inventory management drives me crazy. Returning from hunt back to base means hours and hours of sorting, micromanagement of inventory, finding stuff and pure madness.

That is a how you play thing. I have had inventory issues but not often. I have most everything set to weight, but they will pop back to no sort some times.
Dropping the wrong item may very well be a server sync issue. It seems what you drop by accident is from a connecting square of what you wanted to drop.

But I love the stack sort. Just open a chest one click, everything that was in my pack that matches what is in the chest is in the chest. All be it will some times stack stuff that doesn’t match. To rare to figure out any rhyme nor reason to it.

I lost my chest keys once, went through the chests I might have put them in, found them in my building materials chest, where I never would have put them.

But it seems the menu bug is very different for different players.

It seems like a bug with inventory sorting on Xbox. A possible workaround is to temporarily switch to “Unsorted” mode when transferring items, then revert to your preferred sorting afterward.

hi Abuislam,
yes thats exactly what I have to do now. Sort, unsort otherwise Iam not able to put things or take things from a container with which I interact.

Strange is that aprox. month ago it all worked well. I could have my inventory sorted as well as container (safe) inventory sorted and there was no problem and I was able to put things and take things without a problem.
