Is there an IOS app that lets you sort apps A-Z

Just wondering, is there a way in ios 5, via jailbreak or otherwise, to sort your apps and folders and apps within folders A-z?

thanks

Tried Settings - General - Reset - Reset Home Screen Layout?

This will put all the native apps back on the home screen, but everything else should be sorted alphabetically. Obviously you can then move it back as you want it.

Interesting.. Does it strip out all custom folders? I've never really been happy with the way I've got my iPhone setup so might use this to start again!

Awesome tip, thanks very much mate. Never knew you could do that and I've had iPhones for nearly 4 years now. :eek:

Comes in handy when your kid decides to delete the camera app off your home screen :mad:

So does it remove all folders?

You can't delete the camera app

Indeed not. This was back in iOS 4 days, and it may not have been the camera... It was definitely something important!

Yes it does. You could always create a backup in iTunes try it out and if its too much hassle/work restore the backup and get your previous folder setup in tact though.

That's good! I'd like to reset to everything out in the open so I can have a good cull of the rubbish I no longer use. Thanks
