I'm having trouble with my item sorter. I'm positive that I've built it correctly. (see screenshot)
Basically what is happening is that things that are supposed to show up in (for example) chest number 2, end up showing up in the hopper (and possibly the chest too) of chest number 5 even though the hopper was left empty for that chest.
Let me try to be more specific:
In chest 1 and the hopper 2nd hopper above it, I've placed 6 dirt in slot one, then one egg in the additional 4 slots of the hopper. Then I put a stack of dirt in the receiving chest and it delivers the stack of dirt to chest 1.
In chest 2 and the hopper 2nd hopper above it, I've placed 6 cobblestone in slot 1, and then one egg in the additional 4 slots of the hopper. Then I put a stack of cobblestone in the receiving chest and it ends up delivering it to chest 5 (or the hoppers above chest 5) instead of delivering it to chest 2 like it should.
I'm running Minecraft 1.7.10 if that makes any difference.
Could somebody try to tell me where I'm going wrong.
I'm not sure that it's a signal bleeding issue (though you have probably identified some valid issues with using eggs as the filler item with the OP's sorter design). If it was a simple signal bleed issue, I would have expected sorters 1 and 3 to dump their entire contents (eggs and sorted items) into the respective chest due to the signal bleed.
The first thing I would check is the bottom row of hoppers, make sure that they are correctly facing into their respective chests. That is the most logical way I can think of for items that should go into slot 2 ending up in slot 5.
It shouldn't be possible to overfill the sorter in the OP's design as the in feed is via a hopper chain, so the items should not come in quicker than they can be expelled. You would only get bleed in that design when the chest and hopper chain backs up due to being totally full. If you use a water stream input, it is possible to overpower the filter hopper though. There are ways around that though, such as: Minecraft - Item Sorter Overflow Fix - with Marsman ( ).
Yes, I'm beginning to think that it's a problem with the mod pack that I'm running (Hermitcraft) on the ATLauncher.
I even imported an item sorter schematic into my world and it does strange things when it works on the persons world that created it in the vanilla game.
Oh well, I'm about to give up on it as it's just too flaky with the mods that I'm using (and want to keep using).

You're using a modded Minecraft. Lots of mods can interfere with redstone components in weird ways.

Thanks folks.
