Why do vendors not list their inventory in a sensible order?

It's not alphabetically sorted, and there are strange things like ranged/projectile weapons not being grouped together or even plain, bland unenchanted Large Shield being grouped together! It doesn't make sense! It's been like this forever too, especially the large shields!
Is gear grouped by what is good for each class? I mean there is sort of some kind of sense of organization in Winthrop's inventory, but I do feel that missile weaponry should always be grouped together and it makes no sense for some large shields to be randomly not grouped properly with all the other shields!
Small Shield
Medium Shield
Large Shield
Buckler

Why are the first 3 shields not grouped properly?!

I agree - the ordering is somewhat tedious.
The option to buy different types of shield was probably added later (during EE perhaps), and then these new shields were listed at the bottom.
No, the store lists the items in the order they are found in the .STO file. You need to look at the order shown in the Edit tab in Near Infinity, not the View tab.
Mods can add items to the .STO file, at the end of the list, the beginning of the list, or before/after a particular item. Items that are sold to the merchant in-game are appended to the end of the list.
Good to know - I'm just starting with NI and appreciate any guidance
