How come Safari isn't grouping any of my tabs from the same websites? Is this just a bug or is there a setting somewhere?

I was just searching for this feature as well. I have used Opera browser in the past and have got very use to tabs grouping. Unfortunetly I don't think this feature currently exists. May be worth providing feedback requesting this feature be considered for future releases.

Edit: Ok, that is really odd. Tab grouping is working soon after posting the above. Maybe it is a bug after all.
Anyone else share thoughts / experience?

I presume you mean the Show All Tabs function? I don’t think it necessarily groups the same sites together, but rather follows your navigation flow. If you open a site from within another site then these are grouped together in a stack.

I can't speak for the OP... but I didn't mean the Show All Tabs function and I assume the OP was not either.
I meant the actual order of the tabs.

When opening a new tab it was putting the new tab at the end, rather than next to the active tab. I'm thinking maybe it is a bug because after my post it seems to be working.

I think it only opens a new tab next to your currently active tab when you open a link from that page you’re on. If you open more than one tab, they are added always to the right of the last tab. Clicking on the + sign (or cmd + t) always opens a new tab at the end instead. This seems to me how it always worked and is supposed to work, so I presume it was just a bug on your end.

Sorry, there is a misunderstanding. I am referring to opening a link into a new tab. It was opening the link and placing the tab at the end of all the tabs (far right) instead of next to the active tab from which I opened the link.
I can only assume it was an intermittent bug because it is working correctly now.

I understand what you mean, that’s why I explained how it is supposed to work in my previous post. It must be a bug then.
