The LOOT team

The LOOT project — and the volunteers who maintain the Starfield masterlist — do the hard, thankless work of cataloguing load-order rules for the community. This toolkit's LOOT sorter is a thin consumer on top of that effort. If you benefit from Auto-Sort, consider contributing to the masterlist.

The Bethesda modding community

The 11-tier load-order convention, the category-to-tier mapping, and countless conventions this toolkit builds on were worked out collectively over years by forum posters, wiki editors, and rule book authors. Specific individual credit is hard to assign — the knowledge is genuinely communal.
