The new reagent bag added in pre-patch, the Storm-Battered Reagent Bag, can be used to put reagents in, but once you hit the bag sort button, those reagents get re-placed into your main bags. The bag sorter never sends reagents to the new bag, just takes them out of it.

bumping this because the same thing is happening for me

Did they fix this? Some meats I just looted are sorting properly into the reagent bag.
I noticed it too after I looted things, but when I sorted it, they joined the main bags. I found a workaround by having the bag be ignored so stuff wouldn’t be sorted, but I imagine the reagents are supposed to be sorted into the reagent bag and not out of it.
The sort button is sorting them correctly for me, too, but I haven’t tried other reagents yet.
Edit: Just tried a few other things, and they all seem to be sorting correctly. 
Edit 2: Orboreal shards are going in my regular bags when looted/moved from bank, but they sort into the reagent bag when I clean up. 
I went to my bank to try the same thing. It was the opposite for me, I right click on some Mechagon stuff and they go in my bag, easy. I clean up my bags, they stay. I clean them up again a second time, they go into my regular bags, and stay there after I clean up a third time.
Would like to add, since this is about bag sorting, that the reverse bag clean up command is not working anymore. At least for my Evoker. /run SetSortBagsRightToLeft(true)
Bumping this because I still cannot use the “Clean up bags” button for reagents. They loot to the new bag, but Clean Up sends them to my normal bags.
I don’t think it works anymore in general, I tried it on my rogue with no effect, both the true and false versions of the command.
Bump in hopes of useful reagent bag
That’s a shame. It was working on the beta, it has to be a bug or something.
I tested this on a alt that doesn’t have the right to left or whichever it’s called, reverse bag sort, and the items entered the bag and wouldn’t leave after multiple bag sorts. So in the end, it looks like a problem with those that’d have the reverse bag sort option from Legion checked and didn’t disable it before they removed the ability to, but it may be more than just that.

Now that the bag sorting is working again. I went back to the default sorting options and that fixed my Reagent Bag issue.
Is there a command or a option they included to go back to default sorting? I’ve tried running the command codes and nothings changed.
I use the addon “Advanced Interface Options” that has it as a checkbox to click.

Thank you! This is exactly what I’ve been trying to do with every /run command in the book. Anyone who wants to try it, its all one word. It’s unfortunate that it falls to addons to fix things, but at least it fixed it. I wish I could give you a gold star for this, it was very annoying
The command to reverse the sorting is:
/run C_Container.SetSortBagsRightToLeft(true)
To set back to default use:
/run C_Container.SetSortBagsRightToLeft(false)
The reagent bag is not working when I use the reverse sorting. Works properly with default sorting.
Sorting in reverse mode left spaces in my inventory until I unlocked the extra slots from using an authenticator. After that the default sorting did the same thing instead.

Thank you! I’ve been trying to figure out why the reagent bag worked on some alts but not others and the reverse sorting was bothering me. i couldn’t find an option anywhere in the menus or addons but that script worked perfectly!
Interesting. I’ve never messed with the sorting order on my bags at all, yet on some characters, the reagents would sort into the reagent bag, and others didn’t work. I used the command to set it back to default, and it works now… So weird…
Edit: FWIW, this seems to be a per-character setting. I used the command on one character when the reagents wouldn’t sort into the reagent bag and it fixed it for that character, but then had another character later where it didn’t work again, so I had to run the command again.
My gab sort button is missing, ive checked addons and even disabled them but its not there, any clues
