Automated Inventory Sorting

Some suggestions
First off, this is THE BEST mod available for SE. If I had to delete all but one mod, I would keep this one.

Now, a couple of suggestions :)

#1) The text entry feature of Inventory/Control UI in SE is horrible, and this makes it difficult to name each inventory as needed for your mod. So my suggestion is, create a set of alternate "short hand" commands tags. Examples:
[Ore/Iron:Split:P1,Ore/Stone:ignore]
becomes
[O/Fe:P1,O/St:i]

and

[Component/RadioCommunication:P1,Component/GravityGenerator:P1]
becomes
[C/Rc:P1,C/Gg:P1]

#2) Let us edit the config file by hand. If you would let us know where you store the configuration file that controls our setups, assuming it is editable, it would be really helpful in some cases to hand-edit this file.

THANK YOU and please continue to honor us with your efforts!

If by "configuration" you mean the sort commands, that's all in the block names, in SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbs in your save folder. Search for <CustomName> elements, and I recommend you use something like Notepad++.

And I agree, shorthand tags would be great.

This has been added to TODO, but kind of got bumped by a lot of other issues. It will be a reality eventually.
