New Jolla Phone owner seeks advice

Open question: is there any way to organise the app list alphabetically? As I install more and more stuff it’s starts getting untidy. May be an option somewhere but I really can’t see it. C2 with SailfishOS 5

If you tap and hold 3 seconds you can rearrange them manually. You can also group them into folders.

Thanks! Absolute newbie here, I’m used to automatic arrange alphabetically and forget about it

It could still be a useful feature, some other people have requested it before, e.g.:

Automatic app sorting (in alphabetical order)

A little bit related to Global search (App launcher by keyboard search?), I would like the ability to have my homescreen apps automatically put into alphabetical order so when scrolling down the apps I could find what I am looking for by looking at the first letter of apps. On iOS this can be done by resetting homescreen, except that it puts Apple apps first and everything else second in alphabetical order.

Please take a look at “Quick Launch” by Jaume Singla, when the first non-beta release of SailfishOS 5.0 has been published.

Unfortunately the SailfishOS:Chum community repository, which hosts this app is not easily accessible, until then. As a slightly tedious workaround on a Jolla C2 phone you may manually download this RPM file of the SailfishOS:Chum GUI application and install it, then enter 4.6.0.15 in its settings, which lets you search and install “Quick Launch” (and all other software in the SailfishOS:Chum community repository) easily.

I still don’t see it on launcher.
