Sort Collection – Collection Organizer for Blender

Created by Treedrew

Keep your Blender scenes clean, sorted, and easy to manage — automatically.

 Features

• Auto-Sorting: Alphabetically or by object count.

• Color Coding: Use rainbow, warm, cool, or your custom color palette.

• Prefix Grouping: Automatically group collections by shared name prefixes.

• Smart Trash: Move empty or marked collections to a configurable trash folder.

• Advanced Controls: Mark important collections, manually trigger reorganization, or enable auto-clean on run.

 Why Use Sort Collection?

Working with dozens (or hundreds) of collections can quickly become a mess.
Sort Collection helps automate and clean your hierarchy, freeing you to focus on creativity, not folder structure.

 Easy to Use

Just install the addon, open the Sort Collection tab in the sidebar, and click "Organize Collections."
Use advanced options to fine-tune sorting criteria, color schemes, and trash management.

 Fully Recursive

Sorts and organizes deeply nested subcollections too — nothing gets left behind.

 Installation

1. Download the .zip or .py file.

2. In Blender, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install.

3. Select the file and enable the addon.

4. Access it in 3D Viewport > Sidebar > Sort Collection tab.
