ComfyUI Node Organizer Update Rewrites Workflow Management
ComfyUI Node Organizer version 2 is a complete rewrite of the previous Node Organizer tool by the same developer. It automatically arranges nodes in ComfyUI workflows, keeping groups compact and orderly without manual dragging.
Developer PBandDev rebuilt the extension from scratch after users reported stability issues with the first version. The original release suffered from overlapping nodes, broken group boundaries, and layouts that shifted unexpectedly, all problems that the new version addresses directly.
Streamlined workflow organization
- New "Organize" button added directly to the main toolbar for quick access.
- Shift+O keyboard shortcut organizes selected groups or entire workflows.
- Configurable spacing settings with sliders for gaps and padding adjustments.
- Improved nested group support makes complex subgraphs manageable.
- Disconnected nodes automatically move to the side instead of clustering.
- Group tokens like [HORIZONTAL] and [3COL] still work for custom layouts.
Users working with complex workflows will spend less time manually positioning nodes and more time building. The tool proves useful for anyone managing large pipelines or frequently reusing workflow templates.
Developer Notes and Practical Details
The developer noted that v1 had problems where
'nodes would overlap, groups would break out of their bounds, and the layout would shift every time you ran it.'
Version 2 fixes these core issues while adding a proper settings panel for fine-tuning behavior. Users can toggle the fit-to-view option and select their preferred default algorithm.
Installation remains straightforward through the ComfyUI Manager. Search for 'Node Organizer' in the Custom Node Manager and click install, and existing users should update automatically. If something breaks, the developer requests that users open an issue with the workflow JSON attached for debugging.
