Sorting rules don't eval properly about weechat-autosort HOT 6 CLOSED

Those indeed look like the default rules. The most likely cause is your weechat version. Version 1.6 is relatively old. If it is possible for you I would recommend updating weechat. I expect that will make the default rules work as intended.

However, it should still be possible to make it more or less work without if statements. For example, you could turn them into:

    0: ${core_first}
    1: ${irc_last}
    2: ${buffer.plugin.name}
    3: ${irc_raw_first}
    4: ${server}
    5: ${info:autosort_order,${type},server,*,channel,private}
    6: ${hashless_name}
    7: ${buffer.full_name}

Some of these will still be broken, but basic functionality should be there. The if statements in rule 4, 5 and 6 are mainly there to avoid doing stupid sorting on slack channels, but that's only a problem if you use the slack script.

Oh... Well that's not an option. I'm running Weechat on a Debian stable (stretch) server in a tmux terminal. The current version of Weechat on stable is 1.6. I can't really dive into unstable just for Weechat. I guess I will have unsorted buffers for a time.

Did you try without the ${if:..} for rules 4, 5 and 6? Because I think it would work for most setups that way too.

No, mainly because the rules that don't use if use helpers that do.
Helpers are

core_first: ${if:${buffer.full_name}!=core.weechat}                                                                                        
hashless_name: ${info:autosort_replace,#,,${buffer.name}}                                                                                      
irc_first: ${if:${buffer.plugin.name}!=irc}                                                                                              
irc_last: ${if:${buffer.plugin.name}==irc}                                                                                                  
irc_raw_first: ${if:${buffer.full_name}!=irc.irc_raw}                                                                                        
irc_raw_last: ${if:${buffer.full_name}==irc.irc_raw}

True, those wont work, but it's mainly rule 4, 5 and 6 that should ensure the tree-like sorting of IRC buffers. The sorting of non-irc buffers might not be exactly what you want, but there are alternatives even for those.
