# Actions API

Run Sorted's actions by id, for a shortcut wheel, a radial menu or buttons of your own.

`SortedActions` lists what Sorted can do, by id, with a name in the player's language, and runs it. Sort the inventory, Quick Stack to nearby containers, open the search. From Sorted **0.1.31**.

```java
if (SortedActions.isAvailable()) {
    for (String id : SortedActions.ids()) {
        String name = SortedActions.label(id);   // in the player's language
        Boolean on = SortedActions.isOn(id);     // true/false for a switch, null otherwise
    }
    SortedActions.run("sorted:quick_stack_nearby");
}
```

`run` does it once, and returns false when the id is unknown, the server does not allow it, or there is nothing to do. `isOn` is cheap, fine every frame.
