Inventory Sort is Coming!

Taken from the beta forums:

Until now, we had planned for a sort/arrange process to take place on the server-side database which collects player information. 

However, in phase 3 with the addition of the Armoury Chest, player inventories immediately increased to 400 slots, and we have had to revamp these processes that we had originally planned for. 

While it will take a bit of work, we are now proceeding to switch the sort/arrange process to take place client-side. With this system in place, it should address the requests we have been receiving. 

Below are the features that will be ready for phase 4:

• Inventory: It will be possible to use a feature that automatically separates items into categories when obtaining items.
• We will be making it easier to identify items that can be equipped and those that cannot by adding an "X" over the equipment icons.

The specs for the inventory item search feature have been completed; however, due to the fact that the person in charge of implementing this is the same for the above, it will be addressed after the sort-related features have been implemented. We appreciate your patience."

I don't know about you but this is a huge sigh of relief for me. Square Enix isn't ignoring our beta concerns like in 1.0 and are actively making the game better.
