Sorting (order) items in the chest

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I understand that, at least in the base game, you cannot have catagorisation on your chest inventory.
But, conceding to that, is there anyway to even force sorting?

Like, I have a chest full of armour, and whilst most of the items are ordered alphabetically, some of the items appear in random places, making it a pain in the butt to find specific things.

I was wondering if it could be done without mods (because, of course, mods can do anything). Something like open console, click chest, enter 'orderChest' or something.

Because the game can sort, and it usually does, I just have some rogue items that disobey and maybe getting (forcing) the game to do it again may fix it

SkyUI has many sorting options for your inventory, containers, the magic menu and more. It can even sort items by their price/weight ratio for the discerning thief. If you happen to be playing Skyrim on a console, then accept my sincerest sympathy - there is no way to sort items without mods.
