For a comprehensive list of other examples of issues with item positions in the Creative inventory, click here.
All tickets associated with item placement in the Creative inventory are valid for cases introduced in 1.16 and later as per this comment. Exceptions exist, which are valid for their own reasons.
The bug
Ancient debris is an ore (according to the following blog post: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-20w06a) - as such, it being grouped with other ores in the Creative inventory would be expected. This, however, does not happen.
How to reproduce
Open the Creative inventory
Locate Ancient Debris in Building Blocks
Locate Gold Ore in Building Blocks
Locate Iron Ore in Building Blocks
Note that there is a considerable distance between these items

From now on, we only accept reports about "incorrect" creative inventory sort ordering if the items/blocks were added in the Nether Update (1.16) or later. All other issues will be closed as a duplicate of MC-1797, which has been marked as Invalid due to the fact it is seen as a feature request.
