I loot lots of alcohol, and never really paid it any attention until recently, when I wanted to earn some coins from selling part of the huge stash I collected. I was amazed to see this mess:
This was taken in a Shop while selling, but it is the same when I just open the Inventory. All the marked items are exactly the same: same name, same price.
I tried to re-order the items by type, no change – still random mess.
I understand that each type of item got its own "batch amount", however how come the exact same items are not next to each other? Is there a way to fix this?
This still happens even after a major redesign of the Inventory that has been introduced as part of patch 1.20 released in May 2016.

This way of inventory management is due to poor design of inventory stacking [a prominent design flaw]. It would seem these items are added to your inventory based on when you received them, rather than by type or stack amount. There is no way to fix this as it is part of the game code itself, and not a "bug".
As @Crowley Astray had mentioned. If you are still quite upset about this design flaw, you can reach out to CD Projekt Red Support and let them know. There is a chance that they have received complaints on this before, and may patch it in the future.
I hope this helps out!
