Very much agreed, it would also auto-stack all items in your inventory, I would welcome that feature with open arms :)

Another vote here for auto-sorting and auto-stacking.
In some other games of theis genre I swear I've spent a third of the play-time just sorting out the inventory. :P
Every hour of every day is worth living, so live it well.

Bringing this back up for more discussion. Hopefully a dev will notice this and make it happen!! It's totally needed.

I find the flask spaces in both the paper doll inventory tab and on the primary interface confusing and redundant.
I recall in 0.9.2 where players in game would regularly ask global how they should equip flasks because they were trying to drop them into the flask bar.
I also remember that changes needed to be made to UI because it was possible at one point to remove the flasks directly from the primary interface when trying to click to activate, resulting in changes so that the bar is locked unless the inventory tab is up.
I propose that the flask slots on the paper doll inventory tab be removed and that a row be added to the backpack to utilize the room this creates on the tab
This will reduce confusion for new players and eliminate the redundancy. It will also help address requests for rotatable inventory items. Flasks can be equipped when the inventory tab is open by dropping directly into the primary interface bar.
I find the backpack space of 5x12 an odd size to use, because all the inventory item graphics grow in vertical dimension, not horizontal dimension.
When item sizes range in height from 1 to 4 rows, it creates a lot of unusable space when the height of the backpack is only five rows because there are limited sorting variations:
4 row item + 1 row item
3 row item + 2 row item
3 row item + 1 row item + 1 row item
2 row item + 2 row item + 1 row item
1 row item x5
With six rows, all of a sudden the backpack feels like it is much easier to manage inventory because there are now more stacking options:
4+2
4+1+1
3+3
3+2+1
3+1+1+1
2+2+2
2+2+1+1
2+1+1+1+1
1+1+1+1+1+1
There are now nine vertical variations with a six row backpack compared to only five variations when the backpack is only five rows tall.
The growth of the backpack by only 12 squares (20%) will increase the utility of the backpack by 80%! In my opinion, this will greatly diminish complaints about backpack size, and it also makes the UI more intuitive.

It's not "totally" needed. Call me old fashioned but I rather like sorting out my inventory for myself. I don't want things be made easier.

That's good stuff there. All I want is a one button click that puts all 1 (2,3,4 etc) cube items together to help manage space, especially for the stash...That place can get out of control. It could be made even more intelligent to organize armor, weapons, gems and flasks. Someone has to remember this feature from Dungeon Siege 1 and 2.
To the guy above, maybe not "totally" necessary, but certainly a welcomed feature that I know many would like. If you don't like/want to use it, spend the time to organize your stuff manually while I hit my one button and go kill more monsters.

I have other idea, why not making the inventory re-sizable? This way you can add as many items will be allowed to carry without having to count the squares occupied by each item.

The inventory is too small for this to be needed. It would be a completely useless feature.

Wait, people want to auto-organize the stash? That's like throwing everything into a room and having to search for it later. That, or there would need to be some kind of non-random sorting features, but that's much more than a simple auto-sort script.
On the topic of the inventory size in comparison to item sizes... That's a feature. You're supposed to be limited on inventory space, and things aren't supposed to fit nicely without any player effort. Adding inventory space or resizing items removes inventory management from the game. While it would surely be simpler, it takes away from the loot-based aspect of the game (being able to carry more loot with less decision-making involved).
