Introduction
Ever wanted a better way to buy items? Bored of seeing your "Buy" tab all disorganized? Then you're in the right place, looking at the right plugin!
Shop Organization will, as said in its name, organize the shop (only the buying tab, though). You can define multiple Categories for your items to be sorted as you wish.

Features
- Create multiple categories for the buying tab of the shop.
- Organize the multiple items in these categories easily.
- Choose the default category for the items that have no category.

Spoiler: Screenshots

How to Use
Just put the ShopOrganization.js file into your js/plugins folder and configure it with the parameters on the right when activating the plugin.

The Categories parameter is the name of all your categories, each separated by a ';'.
eg: In the screenshots, this parameter is set to Gear;Potions;Others
DO NOT PUT A ';' AT THE END, OR IT WILL CREATE AN EMPTY CATEGORY, AND THE WINDOW WILL BE UGLY.

The Default Category parameter is to define the default category in which the items are stored if they don't have any category set in their Note.
If left blank, it will use the first category specified.

To put an item in a category, open the Database, find your item and add <shop_category:NameOfTheCategory> in the Note part.

Careful: if the plugin isn't named ShopOrganization, it won't work!

It's written in the beginning: it's free to use for both commercial and non-commercial projects, without the need of crediting me, even though it'd be very appreciated.

This is terrific! Thank you!!!

You're welcome, I'm glad it helps !

hmmm. One thing that would make this even sweeter is if categories which have no items in a shop wouldn't show in the shop; then you could have custom shop types. Probably difficult to implement, though, the game would somehow have to read how many items with certain notes are stocked.

I would love to use this plugin, but I am currently using mjshi's NPCDialogueShop and Burning Orca's Shops plugins. I did attempt to see if these worked together and sadly they do not. Would it be possible to make ShopOrganization compatibile?

I think you would just have to make it compatibile with mjshi's--that's the plugin that rpg maker was spewing out errors at me.
