I scrapped that other project in favor of a new idea.
The idea was to use this (

The problem seems to be a method without using ice of having a block pass by the say gold stack here and continue going, while holding the gold stack in place.

Hm, it's kinda like this, organic is east, non-organic is west, technical is north and aesthetic is south. Bottom is low value, top is high value. What's in the specific chests just goes logically from there.
Making a purdy storage room w/o pipes is haarrrd. And I don't think it's really worth it, I've got a tendency to have small store-room for every autofarm. Most things find their way into the storeroom sooner or later manually anyway.
Sadly I can't imagine how one could have an auto-sorter with just those 4 systems. I really do like that though, as it fits in quite nicely with how your storeroom is set up. Very original idea too. I might have to make a circular-esque type storeroom with a similar set up ;)

Oh wow, that's a fantastic idea. Not sure why i didn't think of that before. I'm gonna have to build that
If you get any good results, lemme see it! It was a much bigger project that I anticipated. But most likely possible. I might mess around with it more later next week and post results. Damn finals keep getting in the way.
