You can already auto sort in vanilla with a sufficiently byzantine arrangement of hoppers. It’s not very space efficient, but you can indeed do it.
If I still played Minecraft I would probably be more interested in a Terraria style “throw all loot automatically at nearby chests” button than a dedicated sorting block, but given that Microsoft has displayed a dogged insistence on not giving a rat’s ass about what the player base actually wants I would not hold your breath for that one.

I think I had such a sorting mechanism back in 2013 or 2014 using hoppers
It’s not too complicated to build, but it does cost a lot of iron.
I’ve built a system where you dump all your junk in one chest and it gets sorted into your warehouse
An iron farm is mandatory if you’re going wild with hoppers for sure
Iron + slime farm at the spawn chunks = broken
