Note
After some discussion with the developers, they have now decided to only accept sort order reports if the items in question were added in the Nether Update (1.16) or later. we will now (re-)close all issues this does not apply to.
The bug

Also pumpkins are decorative but found in building blocks.
Same for ores which are divided (emerald, diamond), stairs and the cobblestone wall
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.6.4 / Launcher version 1.2.5 ? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
that the oak stairs are away from the other woods is because:
first it specifies the selected tab
than he sorts them on numeric id order
-The reason for the Invalid has changed - we do now accept reports for incorrect sorting of the Creative inventory, but please report them individually.-
After some discussion with the developers, they have now decided to only accept sort order reports if the items in question were added in the Nether Update (1.16) or later. we will now (re-)close all issues this does not apply to.
MC-183540 should be reopened then because Ancient Debris was added in 1.16 (That ticket is also commented on)
Along these lines, netherbrick and wooden fencing are considered Decoration while cobblestone and mossy cobblestone are Building Blocks.
