I don't know if I am just stupid or can't find the resolution for it. I made a huge item sorting system, where i have 1 chest where i put in all the items, and about 100 chests where they are going to be distributed. I set a filter with the destination tool to a certain chest. But if I put the whitelisted item in, it still goes to the nearest chest - all the time. What am I doing wrong? Or is this supposed to be like this?

Filters for certain destinations ONLY apply for this destination. Double inverting filters would solve your problem.

What do you mean by double inverting? Do I have to blacklist this item in every other chest?

Blacklist + inverted filters

oh this worked. thanks a lot :)
