TL;DR

Add a button to let us sort any chest content when clicked.

What ?

It would be useful to have a button to sort any chest or container's content when clicked. Terraria added a button like that a while back and it's been really useful for managing your inventory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpnHCYTqSsM . I'm suggesting a button and not doing it automatically (viewtopic.php?p=569939#p569939) not to potentially force big sorts each time a player opens a potentially modded chest that might be 500+ slots big.

Why ?

It will help finding any given item in a chest, which is especially important if you're playing with some big mods - https://imgur.com/a/ayZTPfe . Being able to sort the chest when we need it would come in really handy!
