What is the grid for? If it is supposed to be used to browse for applications, its a bad idea. Consider browsing for books. When you don't know the title of a book, and you're looking for a good book to read, you would very much prefer categorical sorting. Alphabetical sorting isn't right for browsing.
Just to clarify, the application menu is for browsing applications, right?
