Item sorting priority issues
Hello, i'm trying to make a sorter that would sort out certain items and leave the rest going into a storage unit.
The mod does seem capable of doing it, but with trickery, and unconsistently.
First issue, it seems the usage of the inventory proxy tricks the storage terminal in some way which makes the sorting of certain items happen BEFORE the storage unit eats it all (see linked image), it's weird and i don't understand this behavior, i learned this trick from a youtube video ( this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSyTglVmxnk ) it does not look like intended behavior to me
Second issue, when disconnecting, the priority switches back to "normal" and the storage unit eats everything without letting the filters take the items, the only way to fix this is to remove and replace the unfiltered inventory connector that is connected to the big storage unit, you need to do that every game session you disconnect from
Complementary information, i have tried probably every possible way of combining the modules from the mod, i tried letting the items go through the filters first then to the huge storage, i tried changing the order, i tried distancing the storage units, ... you get the idea

1, Global access to the whole storage 2, first filtering unit 3, Big storage unit 4, second filtering unit
Thank you, have a good day
What Minecraft and mod version are you using? Some older outdated versions of the mod had the exact issue with priorities.
i'm using this version in the prominence 2 modpack, "toms_storage_fabric-1.20-1.6.4"
i will add that i stopped using the proxy block and for some reason the system worked, i must've changed something without realising, the second issue remains, i still have to delete the inventory connector everytime i reconnect
If you use filtered inventory cable connectors you can set the priority with it. Set it to reject matching with the filters empty. The unfiltered inventory cable connector has a normal priority, and the order depens on the order the game loads the blocks.
