Organizing Apps Alphabetically

Sacredryche — Thu, 30 May 2024 14:58:36 GMT

Hi all,

I just upgraded to an 24 Ultra and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to organize the apps in alphabetical order. I've googled how and it tells me to use the 'Sort' function in the app drawer, but when I click on the three dots, I don't have that. I just have 'Settings' and 'Choose apps to search in'.

Help?

Open the app drawer and in search bar click sort

Thanks for the response, but as I said in my post, I don't have that 'Sort' option. I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with this before.

It sounds like you're not going into the correct screen. Based on what you said your options are, you are in your "search" screen. Go to your app drawer, where it just shows all of your apps, and you should see the sort button in the menu. If you need help finding your app drawer, please let us know 🙂

Can you post a screenshot of your apps screen with the 3 dots pressed

I swipe up as directed and this is what I get.

Don't click on the search bar only click the 3 dots I have circled beside the search bar

I just realized (d'uh) that I don't have the search window above my apps. I am not sure how to add that. 😞

Okay, I realized I don't have the search option in my apps drawer. Does anyone know how to get it? 😕

Are you tapping in the searchbar first, last picture, or tapping the 3 dots first? Tap the 3 dots, not inside the searchbar. Tapping inside the searchbar first, then the 3 dots will put you in search settings, not app drawer settings.

I know, confusing!

Definitely the three dots, but I also realized I don't have the search bar as pictured in your photos and I am unsure of how to add that. I think that is my issue to not being able to do what I want.

Can you take a screenshot of the search settings page?
I will compare it to mine.

Okay, I am feeling like an **bleep**. Where do I find that? 😞

Thank you!!!!!

This screenshot is what you see when you swipe up to your appdrawer?

Don't tap inside of the search bar only tap on the 3 dots
