Item Sorter

This is a wanted script, I have not yet begun working on it.

The goal of this script is to search the player's inventory for certain items, and place them into a special container. This has been accomplished in a number of oblivion mods (see COBL's alchemy sorter), so it should not be too difficult to find reference scripts.

I wish to make separate scripts for each item type; One for ingredients, one for potions, one for books (possible to interact with the book sorter?), one for scrolls, one for Blade weapons, one for Blunt weapons, one for Marksman weapons, one for Light armor, one for Heavy armor, one for Keys, one for Soul Gems, and one for Misc. items (Ores, gems, hides, etc.)

Without using OBSE, I suspect that I'll need to add checks for every item in the game. This method will be easy to make exceptions, and make it impossible to sort quest items. I'd like to add optional OBSE functionality which will sort mod-added items, and add buttons for the ingredient, potion, and magic scroll sorters which will allow you to withdraw items by effect.

All that I want to do with this script has been done in COBL's alchemy sorter script, so most likely I'll copy the backbone of said script. If you have any advice or tips for this endeavor, please post them here.
