Is your iPhone set up with one well-arranged home screen, maybe two, followed by a random mish-mosh of the rest of your apps? If so, this tip might be for you.

In a nutshell, you’ll reset your apps to a new state, with the Apple apps on the home screen, and iOS will lay down the rest of your apps in alphabetical order. All you need to do is pull your most used apps to the home screen and the rest of your apps will be ordered somewhat alphabetically.

If you are going to do this, you might want to take a screen shot of your existing home screen to make it easier to remember what you had there before order was restored.

I wish Apple would give iOS more ways to bring order to your app icons. Why not a “View by Name” option?

And when I do an iPhone search, it’d be nice if there was another option beyond, launch the app I just found. At the very least, I’d love the option to jump to the page where the option lives, so I can find it in my morass of messy app icon pages. If not that, how about listing a page number next to the found app icon. That’d be enough of a clue for me.
