I’m with you, Wayne. I see no point in letting Apple organize my stuff for me, how do they know how I want my stuff organized? I’m good with an alphabetical list. But they could’ve just put a button with that on a screen and you could just tap it. Like the Google app drawer used to be.. That was simple, straightforward, and usable. This is just not necessary at least in my view.
