Hi Mark, Wow, the list view is really different. It takes so long to scroll through the apps! I could probably get used to it, but I've always used the grid view. However, that difference may explain why you prefer arranging apps on your phone and I don't. In grid view, trying to arrange the apps on the phone is very confusing, at least in my opinion.
However, what I am trying to accomplish would presumably be the same in either view. I want the apps I use the most to be closest when I enter the apps page. Using grid view, I've been able to accomplish that, but they just never stay put. It's the strangest thing. thanks for messing around with this, Mark, I appreciate it.
