Horizontal app scroll messed up -S25 Ultra

Horizontal app scroll with alphabetical order not available. Why this basic feature is not available in S25 Ultra..disappointment.

NOT IMPRESSED WITH S25 ULTRA

I haven't gotten mine yet but from what I've heard on several videos it is, hit the three dots, enable alphabetical and it changes to vertical

Unfortunately at least for now with Horizontal you would need to manually put in alphabetical order

Vertical is so much better, especially using the slider bar to go to the exact letter you want.

Got my pre-order on Thursday and it works fine for me. There's a sort order and you can do it alphabetically. It'll take some time to get used to but it's more consistent now with the way other things are scrolled and you can go right to the letter of the app

Yes but I am looking to have alphabetical order with horizontal scrolling

Custom Sorting Apps on Phone

While getting used to the longer one page vertical sorting is going well, I still prefer having "pages" Who's bright idea was it to not allow custom sorting to be alphabetical? It is ridiculous that at this time you have to tap and move each app to your desired positions. If you have a lot of apps it just isn't feasible. Please add the ability to alphabetize custom sorting. Class dismissed!

Why don't you make folders so that you can put similar apps together? I have all my apps in folders on one page so I don't have to vertically or horizontally scroll for anything.

Hi there! I am not familiar on putting apps in folders. How do you go about putting six related apps in a single folder?

When you press, hold, and move an icon onto another icon, a folder is formed. Subsequent apps can be added to the formed folder by either dragging the app into the folder or tapping the "+" on the upper right to add your app (the + is only available after the folder is formed), and you can name the folder. You can then place the folders in the order you want. You should see two pre-formed folders at the very beginning of the apps array--Google & Samsung. You can also create folders on your home screen so you can minimize the number of home screen pages you have.

I'm with you, though, on allowing the alpha sort on the horizontal scroll. At the very least, if you alphabetize on the vertical scroll, it should keep the order if you switch to the horizontal scroll.

App drawer horizontal layout is terrible on One UI 7

user0vnQJDJw5r — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 07:52:52 GMT

In One UI 7, why can't we have the option to sort the app icons alphabetically when using the horizon app drawer option? This is so unintuitive.

We do have that option it's the 3 dots where the search bar at on the bottom

It switches to vertical layout when I select alphabetical sorting. I want alphabetical with horizontal layout .

Horizontal app drawer gone?

Ledvedder5150 — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 14:14:44 GMT

Is it possible to get back the horizontal app drawer? I've seen the workaround of using custom sort and clean up pages, but that still doesn't sort fully alphabetical.

Re: Horizontal app drawer gone?

Here's my suggestion for the horizontal sort being alphabetical. No, I don't have a way to do it, other than to manipulate the apps into their alphabetical position manually, but I do suggest flooding the developers with bug reports that it does not do that and you want it to. The more requests they get for it, the more likely they are to fix it. I'd like to think it was a coding oversight but, in any case, they should know what people want, and the only true way to get their attention is to flag it for them in feedback.

That's like saying orange is better than people. Some people like purple better. No one is right or wrong - it's preference.

userzkV0gKl3Bg — Sat, 08 Feb 2025 17:52:47 GMT

Because I don't have the time to do that

Re: Custom Sorting Apps on Phone

realaud — Sat, 08 Feb 2025 23:21:04 GMT

Don't have time to do what? Arrange the apps the way you like them or send an error report? On the first, you will have to live with it until they fix it. Either learn to work with the vertical scroll to keep things alphabetical, or arrange your apps on the horizontal scroll in a way that makes it easy for you to find them. On the second, if you don't send feedback, it's not going to change.
