For a comprehensive list of other examples of issues with item positions in the Creative inventory, click here.
All tickets related to 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. This ticket in specific should be valid as explicit changes were made to the Redstone tab in 1.17, which is after 1.16.
The bug
All four rail types have explicit redstone interactivity (normal change direction/connections, detector as a power source, and powered and activator can be powered). Despite this, they are not found in the Redstone tab, but rather in the Transportation tab, despite being common redstone components. As such, they should be moved to the Redstone tab.
How to reproduce
Open the Creative inventory
Locate Rail in Transportation
Locate Powered Rail in Transportation
Locate Detector Rail in Transportation
Locate Activator Rail in Transportation
Note that all four of these have explicit redstone functionality
Note that none of these are in the Redstone tab

"but rather in the Transportation tab, despite being common redstone components." Do you use rails to build redstone mechanisms?Or do you still use them more often in the railway to speed up the minecarts for transportation?
From MC-1797:
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.
Can confirm, but this is probably intended, since they are in the transportation tab which uses a rail as an icon.
