A universal two-tier bulk item sorter and storage
 * Overflow proof
 * Expandable without limit
 * Two-tier design gives quick access to many different items

Side view
The topmost hopper is part of a hopper chain that traverses the slices and feeds the items into the upper half of the sorter. The lower half of the sorter is fed by a similar hopper chain that runs below the lower block marked C. In this drawing the items move toward us in the upper chain and away from us in the lower chain. This could also be the other way around. The end of the upper chain can be connected to the start of the lower chain, making one continuous chain.

The blocks marked C have no function in the circuit other than covering the hoppers to reduce lag. In version 1.15 Furnaces and Droppers are roughly equally effective. The most effective item is the Composter.

The top-half slabs holding the item frames represent upside-down stairs (which can not be represented with the Schematic template).
