This mod renames items with tag prefixes so that they will sort better in the inventory. The vision behind the sorting method is to:
1) Group like items together (notes, holotapes, keys, food, chems, etc)
2) Sort the most commonly used items near the top for easy accessibility
3) Modularize the options to give you the ability to customize which items to sort

Additional Optional Mod: Valdacil's Item Sorting - Not Junk
----------------------------
The primary goal with this mod is to move some items from Junk that are high in value (value/weight ratio around 50), can be used as currency (cigars and cigarettes), are quest items, or I considered collectible. See the readme for specific items. There is also an option to have only Pre-War Money, Gold bar, Silver bar be Not Junk.
