I changed the name of each consumable to include the effect at the front. This way when you sort by name, you're sorting by effect instead. Effects are labeled like this -

Alc - Alcohol
Body - Sugary drink, body +1
Carb - Carbohydrate, health regen
Cig - Nicotine
Hard - Hardened/armor effect
Immu - Immunized, shorter debuffs
Insi -  Insight, faster TTD recharge
Lead - Leader, faster companion cooldown
Meat - Meat, base health increase
Mind - Caffeine drink, mind +1
Snip - Sniper, increase critical damage
Spee - Speedy, increase movement/melee attack speed

If I missed any, let me know. I did not label Clive's poisonous cans.

If you don't like my labels I'm sorry but I will not change them. I had to go through thousands of lines to edit each item individually. These strings are not organized in any way I can see so it's a pain. Feel free to edit mine if you want.

There's two files currently - one is for the main game, the other is for the DLC. Eridanos specifically since I didn't see any consumables added for Gorgon. If you have the DLC and want all items sorted, download both. If you don't have the DLC, download just the main file.

Place the pak(s) in your Paks folder - The Outer Worlds\Indiana\Content\Paks
