Have you considered moving all the "Compact" type words to the front of the names. It makes shopping and fitting so much easier. If I know I'm short on CPU my eyes could quickly find Compact modules instead of having to read each and every category line for the important part in the middle...
Shield Power Relay I
Mark I Compact Shield Power Relay
Type-D Restrained Shield Power Relay
Shield Power Relay II
'Basic' Shield Power Relay
Caldari Navy Shield Power Relay
Vs (Much Better)
Shield Power Relay I
Compact Mark I Shield Power Relay
Restrained Type-D Shield Power Relay
Shield Power Relay II
'Basic' Shield Power Relay (why are the single quotes used anyway?)
Caldari Navy Shield Power Relay
To be honest, I've never liked the I/II scheme because it puts the important info at the end. I really wish all the schemes were more like:
Std. Shield Power Relay
Compact Mark I Shield Power Relay
Restrained Type-D Shield Power Relay
Adv. Shield Power Relay
'Basic' Shield Power Relay
[Adv./Prototype] Caldari Navy Shield Power Relay |

Or you could just search for "compact sensor booster" and look for what starts with Compact. And searching for "Compact shield booster" would yield all sizes.
Think about it, when you look at an item's variation tab (I think) it lists things by Meta level, which was immensely helpful. Now that they are going away from Meta level, it will not be as easy.
Shopping while browsing the market has always been more of a chore than it should be, because of the order things are listed: Primary sort = [Not T2] then T2 (Thankfully Metta 6+ has their own categories)
Secondary sort = Alphabetical
Which will have the lowest CPU? Gonna have to go to the item section scroll through all, until T2, and remember the lowest CPU so far, then keep scrolling for a lower one. Found it! Oops, what was the name of that lowest CPU mod, I know it was "[Something] Compact", but what did it start with... Drat, Gonna have to scroll up looking for that lowest number again. Wait, while trying to remember the module name I forgot what the lowest CPU number was, FRACK!!!
It's madness! It is so bad that we all know that the best way to create a new fit is to generate a shopping list in a 3rd party program (that lists them by fitting need), import the list, view market for each item...
The current market sorting and module naming conventions actually INHIBIT
You do have a point though, which is why I'd revise my request to name things by:
1. Fitting/Effectiveness Indicator - "[Basic/Compact/Prototype/Restrained/Standard/Superior]"
2. Item Type - "Shield Power Relay"
3. Flavor Text - "Type-D"
We can both win Chance... Maybe someone could make some Effectiveness indicators that are also alphabetically ordered as well!

I can (in theory) go in the market and search "Compact shield booster" "compact shield extender" "compact torpedo launcher" "compact sensor booster" and just KNOW without having to memorize flavor names, this will find the correct module.
