If they mix up the layout you're forced to look at more products instead of automatically going to the places you expect a product to be. It's a marketing tactic.
There's more reasons than that but if it's definitely one of the bigger reasons a small stock change can trigger a total mix up of the whole aisle.
It's also why stores are more and more being designed like mazes, without clear signage, and with related products spread far apart. They inconvenience you specifically to extract money from you.
