So...it's been bothering me for a while that the NPC Shop items (or any non-user shops in general) are not sorted in alphabetical order. User shops are in fact sorted like this, but why not NPC shops?

Another thing that's been bothering me lately was the fact that I can't pull up a preview of the item in the shop without having to use another method like searching the item up in Shop Search or going to my wardrobe. I'd like to preview the item in the shop so I know what it will look like on my character. This is possible on a wishlist or in other side shops that aren't the main five shops for avatars.

npc shops are sorted chronologically, with oldest items at the top and newest items at the bottom. whenever new items are released, restockers keep an eye on the bottom of the page; changing this would drastically throw off the process of trying to catch a new item restock.

npc shop items being non-hoverable is also intentional, so you can't use the hover info to gauge the item's value.

Oh alright! Didn't realize that was how the items were sorted.
