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/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
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.
Your bags are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 Your bank is: -1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Your guild bank is: 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, guild, all, and a few more. Click the "list" button in the groups config to see these.
Sure 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.
I 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.
You 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.)
Having 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....

Thank you for keeping this addon updated! <3
Thank you so much for updating this addon and keeping it alive.
thank you so much for updating this.
The 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.
It 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.
Is there a option to toggle on off the display of the search bar in guild vault there is already a blizz one and im not in need of two? Also is there a toggle on/off for the Stack entire guild vault button in the bottom left of my screen when i open the guild vault?
This is, without fail, my favorite addon. Makes my life 100% easier.
I used it a few years ago and occasionally got errors, havn't seen even a single error since I started playing again about 2 or 3 months ago! :)
And let me tell you:. there was nothing more saitisfying to come into my bank, full of 20 stacks of herbs, leather and ore and hit that compress button <3
THANK YOU for making such an AWESOME addon :)
Same issue. Takes forever to try to sort gbank.
Try going to the advanced settings and raising all the timers to the full 1 second. That fixed it for me.
When i try ot sort or compres guild bank i got message " BankStack: Confusion, Stoping"
ANy help please
ALT-Click is the same = " BankStack: Confusion, Stoping
/sort guild
/sort bank
/compress guild
the list is pretty endless and usually intuitive on how to sort/compress/ move.
Confusion problems arise with items that have changed status or cannot be sorted - giving rise to confusion errors (say you are sorting and there is a unique owned pet (unlearnt) - this tends to trigger the error as it cant move the item out and then back in without hitting a conflict of you already having one "seen" in your bag. usually persisting in sorting it or removing items that have changed status from BOE/BOP/souldbound fixes it.
It would be lovely<3 if the author could update it for these items and help with resolving the frame error which is persistent.
Thanks
argggg! I hate it when you have a good addon in theory but can't get it working and the authors appeared to have bailed. No responses for a LONG time on here or WoWInterface. (Yes I posted this there too.) I need to more details info on setting this up. I ONLY want it to sort my guild bank and can't figure out how to make it do that or even work on the guild bank for that matter.
To sort your guild bank, you ALT-Click on the broker button (if you have it up) while the guild bank is open. Not sure if /sort guild or /sort bank will work as I have not tried it since I use the broker button. It will sort that tab, although it is slow. To compress stacks in the guild bank type /compress guild.
thanks for mentioning this! I took a break from May to now and I couldn't remember for the life of me how to sort the guildbank lol
