Help Sorting apps in Gingerbread 2.3

[bonerp]

Have just bought a Galaxy S2 running 2.3. Can the applications be sorted in alphabetical order / name?

I have added some and reinstalled others and they appear to get added to the end of the list. Its really messy and difficult to find an app.

thanks

This is not a GB v2.3 question to be asked in Android Applications.
This is a question for SGS2 sub-forum.

This is an issue with TouchWiz, Samsung's own skin they put over Android, which is why the thread was moved.

Short answer - no. The only way I know of is to reset TouchWiz, which will also remove all your widgets. This was one of the reasons why I soon got ADW.Launcher instead, it is excellent. It will sort apps alphabetically, and also you can choose between pages (as in TouchWiz and the iPhone, which, let's face it, TouchWiz borrows heavily from), or a vertical grid like other Android phones.

this isnt a gingerbread bug, its touchwiz that samsung added.
As a one off you can clear the data from the app twlauncher which will force everything to reset to the default homescreens but will also sort the app drawer alphabetically.
