I think this is correct. The current design allows you to drag icons and define your own order. Meaning the order of icons should stay unchanged, not sorted, even after installing new apps.
But rather than closing this bug I will turn it into an enhancement request for the option to sort the icons. ** Summary changed: - In "show applications" the applications are not sorted alphabetically and does not update when installing new application. New applications are just added at the end of the last page. + Add option to sort icons by name ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Summary changed: - Add option to sort icons by name + Add option to sort app icons by name ** Tags added: focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1899889 Title: Add option to sort app icons by name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1899889/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
