On my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (HC 3.2), my apps (in the Apps screens) were always automatically organised in alphabetical order, without gaps.

On my new Galaxy Tab 7.7 (also HC 3.2), they seem to be all over the place, with gaps. It's a bit like my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone (GB 2.3.6), on which I use the AppZorter app to keep the apps sorted alphabetically.

Is anyone else experiencing this with their Galaxy Tab 7.7 in Apps ?

Yes, there seems to be some bug with the Touchwiz UX
There is no auto sorting of apps, and sometimes a blank page will remain even after i removed all apps from that page
Not to mention it does a poor job of remembering my folders :mad:

I've done a firmware update through kies (now ZSLA2/HK version)
And that seemed to have stabilized the touchwiz somewhat, though still no auto-sorting

It seems to add them in order of install, rather than alphabetically like on the 10.1/8.9. I also saw a blank page once but it cleared itself after a reboot.

Yes, I noticed it too. While generally, it seems to go by order of installation, it's not always the case either. For instance, some of my original apps got mixed up together with apps that I installed.

Anyway, I'm no longer dealing with this after moving to GO Launcher Ex, where you get to choose the sorting method (Alphabetical, Latest installed first, Earliest installed first).

One, and perhaps the only way for now, is to clear data for the TWLauncher app. It will automatically sort all the apps in system and you downloaded ones in alphabetical order. You will loose customization though (widget placements, etc).

That was one of many reasons I switched to ADW launcher. I hope Samsung will come up with more customizable TW for ICS.:confused:

BTW I've tried several times to put apps inside created folders, but they won't stay long inside and keep coming out timing and again! Help appreciated.

Answer: Do not use the plus sign inside the folders. Press, "Edit", and drag and drop the apps into the folders. They will stay in the folders, then. Worked for me.

    Try Folder Organizer on the market. Works flawlessly.
