Device types are sorted alphabetically first by manufacturer and then by model. The behavior demonstrated in your second screenshot is expected, because the list is not being filtered by manufacturer.

If you'd like to propose altering this ordering, you're welcome to do so by submitting a feature request, but please note that this would be considered a breaking change as it alters the current behavior in both the UI and REST API.
