Because the networks did not respect the production seasons when broadcasting. Production seasons are designedbby show creators to be a cohesive whole, with an order. It makes sense to go back to this when releasing DVDs and not stick with random broadcast seasons.

Isn't it the broadcasters often air them out of production order?
That's probably the case, but I'm sure they get aired in a different order more often than you'd think.
I don't have an answer for OP but, having worked in a TV show, I have seen episodes broadcasted in a different order from production. I have no idea why though since these decisions had nothing to do with my area.
Example: Fox screwed over Firefly's broadcast order.
In multiple ways. The order was supposed to go: season 1, followed by season 2, then season 3. But they fucked up that order after season 1.
After? No, they fucked it up during season 1.
