There's LG, NG, and CG. Bertie may be a bit all over the map, but he still cares about things like dressing properly, observing social decorum, etc. Therefore he's not chaotic enough for CG and not lawful enough for LG. Hence, neutral good.
I could see a case for Jeeves being Lawful Neutral, except that his machinations always bend towards rewarding the virtuous and punishing the wicked (as secondary objectives to getting Bertie out of the soup, admittedly, but still with consistency and vigor). Given his very rigid views on appropriate social behavior and the interplay between classes, Jeeves is definitely lawful. It's just that the "laws" he follows are based on the Old Feudal Spirit, rather than the relative Johnny-come-lately laws against things like assault or theft.
