Auto Sort Collections earns its spot in the Blender extensions library by handling a repetitive task automatically: sorting objects into collections by type. The 1.0.3 update's exclusion controls and support for non-selectable objects respond directly to points raised in user reviews.
Auto Sort Collections is a Blender add-on from Shuimeng that automatically organises objects into collections based on their type. Rather than arranging a scene's contents by hand, the add-on sorts objects for you, which makes scene management easier.
Version 1.0.3 adds the ability to exclude specific objects and collections from sorting, and improves organisation so non-selectable objects can also be sorted. The update also refreshed compatibility for Blender 5.1.2 and fixed several issues.
The add-on is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, and requires no special permissions to run. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Issues can be reported through the developer's Discord channel, and the version history on the developer's page tracks changes across releases. For anyone who prefers keeping a scene tidy without manual bookkeeping, Auto Sort Collections handles the sorting automatically.
Auto Sort Collections is best for blender users who want scene objects organised into collections by type without doing it manually.
Auto Sort Collections is completely free to download and use.
Auto Sort Collections is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so recent Blender releases are supported. Version 1.0.3 also updated compatibility for Blender 5.1.2. The add-on installs as a Blender extension and requires no special permissions to run. If you work across multiple Blender versions, checking the version history on the developer's page helps confirm which build matches your setup before installing, since compatibility and fixes are tracked release by release there.
Auto Sort Collections is listed as free here, and it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. For current licensing terms and any changes, the developer's page is the place to check. The add-on requires no special permissions, and issues can be reported through the developer's Discord channel. Because it ships under the GPL, the license covers how you can use, modify, and redistribute the add-on within those terms.
Auto Sort Collections does not require any special permissions to run in Blender. It installs like other Blender extensions and works within your scene to sort objects into collections by type. If you run into problems, such as an error during organisation, the developer maintains a Discord channel for reporting issues. Version 1.0.3 fixed several issues and improved handling so non-selectable objects can also be sorted, which addresses a limitation earlier users noted.
Auto Sort Collections can be installed by dragging and dropping the add-on into Blender, or by downloading it and using Install from Disk in Blender's preferences. Once installed, it automatically organises objects into collections based on their type. The download is a small package, so installation is quick. For step-by-step guidance on installing extensions, Blender's own documentation covers the Install from Disk process referenced on the developer's page.
