Documentation: Complex Sorter Plugins
The Complex Sorter's plug-in system allows the processing system to be further customized.
A plugin is placed on top of the Complex Sorter's processing rule system, adding another layer of capabilities.
The plugins are highly customizable with definable user settings, trigger script rules, custom processing rules, requirements and even limited scripting support.
Basics
Each plugin is defined in a simple ini text file, e.g. "Plugins\Add Component Tags.ini".
The possible sections of the ini file are (See further down for a detailed description):
- Defines the basic properties of your plugin, such as name, author and so on.

Complex Sorter - Overview
As Complex Sorter has become more feature-rich over time, the documentation has grown and become larger and larger. There are lots of in-depth articles and specific How-To's - but until now there hasn't been a simpler overview of everything and the whole system.
So here it is!
What Complex Sorter does - a short summary
Complex Sorter will go through ALL the plugins in your mod list and create an all-in-one patch for all your mods.
The primary task was to add item sorting s to each item. But now CS also covers various other actions, such as making items weightless, patching mods for use with the Immersive Animation Framework, Immersive Pickup Sound, moving recipes to new mod-added specialized workbenches ... -
Documentation: Processing rules
The processing rules are the heart of Complex Sorter. All actions are defined and customizable by processing rules.
This article describes the textual ini syntax for processing rules and how they are processed. The integrated rules editor GUI in Complex Sorter allow you to edit those ini files in a more easy graphical way and with many assistant tools. The GUI rules editor display the rules mostly in their ini syntax, so the information in this article is still very useful for the understanding of the system even if you only use the graphical editor.
Tip: If you're going to making a lot of rules, then the ini files are a much faster way to do this.
Basics
The basics are simple though. Basically t... -

Documentation: RecordScript
The RecordScript snippets allow you to apply advanced record structure and data modifications in records by processing rules or a PluginScript.

How-To: Creating pre-built packages (for download)
How-To: Creating pre-built packages (for download)
It is really easy to create pre-built packages, which can be uploaded to Nexusmods for non-Complex-Sorter-users - if you know the steps.
In fact this was the main purpose of this script in the first place (for generating the FallUI Item Sorter packages).
It's possible to create any coverage you need: You can generate a esp covering your whole modlist. Or just cover one single mod. Or a specific
list of mods.
So i will describe the process a bit more detailed.
Step by step
Start FO4Edit (without -autoload if you used that)
In "Module Selection":
Right-click any ESP and select "Select None".
Re-enable the ESP(s) which your patch should be for...
