Sorting overseer gear without stash

Just learned there is a reward for reaching level 40 Overseer. I'm still less than half way there, but think it may be causing the problem I am having. I prefer to stash gear types on the characters that craft each type, (weapons/weaponsmith, armors/armorer, jewelry/jeweler). and have been able to use the auto sort feature for previous OS seasons. However, none of this season's gear is separating according to those parameters. Is this a bug, or intentional in order to utilize the OS Stash sorting feature?
