In latest snaphot and preview spawn eggs are sorted thematically, according to the following categories:
Overworld
Farm Animals
Mounts
Pets
Wild Animals
Aquatic
Miscellaneous
Golems
Villagers
Undead
Spiders
Monsters
Illagers
Nether
The End
Categorization is great, but it has some flaws. For example:
Goat is closer to a farm animal.
Llama is closer to mounts.
Mooshroom is definitely a farm animal.
Phantom is undead.
Secondly, sorting within categories is not good at all.
Horse is the most stereotypical mount, so it should go first.
Dog is the canonical pet, so it should be first in its category followed by cat since they have more common with each other than with the parrot.
Fox is related to bears, and ocelot is related to them all so they should be placed together.
Cod should be near salmon and pufferfish.
Both squids should be grouped together.
Humanoid pillagers should come before pillager creatures.
There are countless similar examples. I hope they will be fixed and maintained consistently.

Firstly, this is a feature suggestion not a bug. Secondly, the sorting goes Type โ Alphabetical. For example, Undead mobs are grouped together and then sorted alphabetically, which is why Bogged is first and Zombie Villager is last.
