I'm with you on this. I would use the simplified sorting (I think it's even compatible with FallUI inventory) but it's been an age since it's been updated.
There is M8r98a4f2's Complex Item Sorter, that could be used to create a patch. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any detailed instructions on how to use it and it doesn't look all that intuitive. Also, the complex Item sorter is incompatible with the latest version FO4Edit. This may explain why there isn't a patch already.
Nuka world items have weird text in front of the name. Nuka-Colas has (I3NUK) and meats has (I6MEA). i dont have other Nuka-World items at my inventory so i dont know what markings others have. Also I havent done Far Harbor yet so I dont know about those
