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
HUGE OVERHAUL for 11.x
VIS 11.x no longer requires AWKCR but instead uses a very lightweight VISKeywords.esm which only contains the Armor and Cosmetics keywords necessary to sort these items. Patches compatible with VIS 10.x and AWKCR will not work properly with VIS 11.x if the patch relates to Armor, Clothes or Weapons. Since removing AWKCR mid-playthrough isn't safe, VIS 11.x requires a clean save... either a new save or a previous save which doesn't contain AWKCR. See details below and articles for creating patches.

Not Junk
----------------------------
The primary goal 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.Quests
----------------------------
Adds tags to quests. Since this module has a higher potential for conflict with mods which modify vanilla quests, I have made this an optional module and all patches are also separate overrides (all flagged ESL). Radiant quests are marked with a + after the tag. This concept based on my modifications to Quest Tags by aogara.

[Atom] - Far Harbor Children of Atom
[BoS] - Brotherhood of Steel

Known Issues
----------------------------
- Armor, Power Armor and Weapons existing in the inventory or containers when the mod is installed will not be tagged.Tagging will update when the item is modified at the crafting station.
- Cobalt, Gallium, Hydrocloric Acid, Tungsten and other items used for that quest are not sortable. I renamed the objects, but they come up as "[Quest] Unidentified Sample XXX". When they are identified as part of the quest, a script alters the names of the objects.
- Named unique armor and weapons that were generated prior to loading this mod will not be sorted.
- Quest items tagged as [Quest] retain their tag even after they are no longer needed for the quest. It would require significant scripting to fix this problem and would create potential problems and incompatibilities. Most items can be manually renamed at the workbench where you can assign the correct tag to the item causing it to be sorted differently.Installation
----------------------------
With Vortex (highly recommended) [MO2 should work similarly]:
1. Download with Vortex and activate. Vortex will prompt for options, allow selecting an optional Junk+DEF_INV tags, then prompt for various included compatibility patches.
1. Download the file manually.
2. Then use your favorite .7z, .zip, .rar program to extract the desired modules from the Data folder in the archive to your Data folderie: C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\fallout 4\Data.
4. Then in the Fallout 4 launcher select the hidden plugin manager and select the modules to activate them.
----------------------------
With Vortex:
1. Deactivate/Uninstall the mod in Vortex
1. Delete any file named "ValdacilsItemSorting-*.esp" or "VIS-Patch*.esp" from your Fallout 4\Data folder.
