[1.7.10][SOLVED] Sorting Creative Tab

[CactusCoffee]

It's me again.

 

So I want to sort my mod's creative tab so it isn't a jumbled mess like the vanilla ones, and so I don't have to change item IDs every time I add new stuff to keep the tab neat. I've attempted to follow diesieben07's tutorial on the matter:

http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,23782.msg120743.html#msg120743

 

However, I get this error:

com.google.common.collect.Ordering$IncomparableValueException: Cannot compare value: net.minecraft.item.ItemBlock@509e4bc4

Here's the relevant code:

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.List;
import com.google.common.base.Function;
import com.google.common.collect.Ordering;

public class Mod...
{	

private static Comparator<ItemStack> tabComp;
public static final CreativeTabs tab = new CreativeTabs(MODID + "_" + "tab") 
{
    @Override
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void displayAllReleventItems(List items) 
    {
    	super.displayAllReleventItems(items);
    	Collections.sort(items, tabComp);
    }
};

@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
{
	tabComp = Ordering.explicit(ModItems.ITEM_ORDER).onResultOf(new Function<ItemStack, Item>() 
		{
            @Override
            public Item apply(ItemStack i) 
            {
                return i.getItem();
            }
        });
}
}

 

Please let me know what I'm doing wrong, I don't like being incompetent

I thought that was the case. My list currently contains only the items. When I try adding one of the blocks (using Item.getItemFromBlock()), however, I get a nullPointerException:

...Well I'm dumbfounded.

 

Changed it so it got the list from a function instead of a parameter, and added all the blocks. It works just fine. I could swear I tried that before and still got an error. But I guess it doesn't matter, it works.

 

Current status: still incompetent

 

Thanks for your help.
