BankStack
BankStack is the leading cause of things moving in your bags and bank.
It:
- sorts your inventory, bank, or guild bank
- fills incomplete stacks in your bank with items from your inventory
- compresses your bags by filling incomplete stacks within them
- puts a chicken in every pot, and pot in every chicken
Quick command reference:
/bankstack: show configuration/sort: rearrange your bags/sort bank: rearrange your bank/sort account: rearrange your warband bank/sort guild: rearrange your guild bank/sort {group}: rearrange whatever group of bags you choose/stack: fills stacks in your bank from your bags/stack bank bags: fills stacks in your bags from your bank/stack {group1} {group2}: fills stacks in group2 from group1/compress: merges stacks in your bags/compress bank: merges stacks in your bank/compress {group}: merges stacks in group/fill: fill empty slots in your bank from your bags/fill {group1} {group2}: fill empty slots in group2 from group1/squash {group}: fill up the front of the group, without sorting anything/shuffle {group}: completely randomly rearrange the contents of this group
In the /bankstack configuration you'll find sections for "ignore" and "groups". Here's a bit of elaboration on the syntax for those parts.
You need, regrettably, to hear about bag ids first. Each bag has a number which addons use to interact with it.
Unfortunately, what number maps to what bag varies depending on game type. Take a look at https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/BagID
The guild bank is a whole different system, and BankStack has made up the following fake bag ids for it: 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58
To ignore slot 1 of bag 0, the first slot in your backpack, go to the "ignore" panel and put "0 1" into the textfield and click "okay".
Groups are similar. Let's say that you're a herbalist, and only want to do some things to your herb bags.
You could put this into the "groups" textbox: herbs 3,4 Or this: bankherbs 10,11
You now have two custom groups, herbs and bankherbs. Presumably you keep massive herb bags in slots 3 and 4, and are making lots of money from this because you have the two most expensive bank slots as well (10 and 11).
Having created these groups you could:
/stack herbs bankherbs
Which would fill up stacks in your bank herb bags from stacks in your personal herb bags.
Predefined groups are: bank, bags, account, guild, all, and a few more.
Click the "list" button in the groups config to see a full list.

Posted Aug 25, 2016What would be super useful would be to have an option to allow for something like the "Deposit all Reagents" in the default UI, except it would deposit all reagents into their item-specific bank bags as a first choice before going into the Reagent bank, and sorting would preferentially move things from the Reagent bank to the item-specific bags as well.
So, things like Herb or Food or Mining bags (in the bank) would be effectively an extension of the Reagent bank, the way Blizzard should have done it in the first place.
So, instead of /stack, you might have a new /deposit command, for example. For the sort, either have an option to enable the new behavior, or use a new /sort tag (e.g. /sort reagent).
It would also be pretty cool if the Blizzard sorting option could be used to do the sorting but modified to use your sorting options, I haven't looked to see if that could be hooked to alter the sort criteria while using the underlying mechanism, but if that could be done, it might be much faster (and then be able to use the existing button).

Posted Aug 26, 2016Unfortunately, there's no way to hook into Blizzard's sorting. I've looked, and it's just backend magic. There's the options on the bags, and there's the option for whether to sort bags left to right or right to left.
As for "deposit", that's actually somewhat attainable -- it's just a slightly more aggressive version of the existing behavior when you do `/stack bags bank`, after all. The main missing thing is that there's no current way to tell it to ignore "normal" bags, so you'd have to make your own custom groups for it.

Posted Aug 25, 2016Hi, Thank you so much for this addon :)
I was wondering if there's a possibility to add functionality for void storage? If it's complicated, no worries, but just wondering :)

Posted Aug 22, 2016As of the latest update yesterday, this is now sorting things in the guild much differently than what it used to. Gear seems to now be sorting by rarity and then level as opposed to type, and I honestly cannot decipher what madness it's trying to do in my bank alt's guild bank that is stocked brim full of randomness. I THINK it's trying to now sort that stuff by use and then ilevel? Though I could be wrong... Is this an intended new change?

Posted Aug 16, 2016Previous to today, BankStack's guild bank organization tool was sufficient for my needs. Today, it has been doing seemingly random moves with my guild bank. Very odd stuff happening here. No changes from default settings have been made. The below screenshot is "perfection" for the tab per BankStack today, 8-16. Thank you for your time and effort on this addon!

Posted Aug 17, 2016You and another person both complained about this right at the same time yesterday, without any addon updates having happened. I thus speculate that it was some Blizzard-side server issue causing the problem.
Would you mind checking again, and seeing if this still happens to you? (I can't cause any guild-bank problems, for my own part.)

Posted Aug 18, 2016Sure thanks for the rapid follow up. I know you do this for free so I appreciate your time and effort. I suspect this was caused by a client update, not your addon, but the addon logic may have to unfortunately be adjusted to compensate.

Tested just now, still doing the same deal.

Posted Aug 16, 2016I tried this addon for the singular purpose of sorting a guild bank. I was thoroughly disappointed with the result. Not only was its action restricted to one tab/bag at a time, it could not successfully reorganize, reorder, and condense even a single tab. This particular guild had items in stacks of 20 for which the stacking rules had later been dramatically increased. BankStack was unable to (a) reorder the stacks in any meaningful way and (b) unable to condense them according to the current stacking limits. Watching it in real time attempt to condense the stacks in a seemingly random irrational process was both amusing and disappointing in its futility.
BankStack is one of the most promising and ultimately disappointing addons of the many dozens I have used.

Posted Aug 19, 2016Having already manually completed the task, and having uninstalled BankStack thereafter, I have nevertheless tried it again. The resulting behavior seemed less insane this time, but it's harder to tell since I had already cleaned everything up myself. It did sort the tab contents differently, and also sorted multiple stacks in reverse by putting a partial stack first and then the full ones to follow. More worrisome is its failure to sort a partial Sunstone stack adjacent to the full ones, instead isolating it with Tiger Opal stacks in between. I am not reassured enough of its behavior to try convincing my wife to apply it to the much more congested guild bank she manages; a similar failure there would take much time to correct. I see the perversity in that comment, since it won't be easy to become reassured without trying it again repeatedly successfully myself. There's a cliche for this....

Posted May 12, 2016The addon desperately needs to have GLOBAL ignore options! Each time I click the mini-map button, forgetting to use a modifier key, I get my inventory bags, two of which are specifically set up with specific items and are toggled (in the UI) 'ignore' for sorting. For starters, your addon needs to be able to recognise that UI setting. If this isn't done, then I am not using it anymore and never going to recommend. In the next instance, you need to add global ignore settings for ALL inventory/bank/guild transaction vectors. The slot-by-slot ignore mechanism is fine for small jobs but tedious for setting an entire bag/panel to be ignored. Great and fast sort algorithm with an ordering that mostly suits my nitpicky organisational needs. The ease of configuration needs some work, please.

Posted Aug 21, 2016It has an ignore-bag option. If you only enter the bagid in the ignore config, it ignores the whole bag. This is poorly documented, I admit.
Adding a way to inherit the blizzard ignore-bag stuff makes sense, I agree.
