I love the Shift-Click shortcut when it comes to putting things in my chests. It's so much more convenient and it lets me dump my inventory in seconds. However, even when I'm meticulous about organization (different chests for stone, wood, etc) I still end up with a bit of a problem. Say in my stone chest, I've got 20 stacks of cobble, then I put in some sandstone, some ores, a few extra smooth stone or half block pieces, stone steps, etc. But then, I go mining again and I have 10 more stacks of cobble! Shift-clicking puts the new stone at the end instead of up with the other cobble, and if I want to make it nice and neat again, I have to move the entire chest inventory around.
What I'd love is a hotkey or button to automatically sort items in chests. Since items use a numerical ID system, this should actually be pretty easy; I don't know Java but the pseudocode is forming in my head as I type this... using a sorting algorithm with the different items in the chest, placing the items back in the chest lowest to highest... seems pretty simple to implement, actually, and if it is, it'd be pretty convenient to keep all one's crap sorted without having to juggle chest inventory.
Yes. There should be a button that automatically sorts chests. I fully support this idea, have some Rep.

I both like and dislike the idea, what I really wish is that you could remove and deposit everything in the order you want it with out the task of clicking so much, but alas, your idea is the first step. I agree.

I downloaded a mod that can sort my items for me at the push of a stone button. Grated I have to make a redstone system to do so but it is still a fun mod for other things too (it adds in 3 items one of which moves things in and out of chests and wat not)
That being said... I kinda like this idea for un modded MC. Not too bad
