Sorting mode: Full Usage Order without Alphabet Sections

Purpose / Problem

  • In the current “Usage” sort mode only the very top of the list is ordered by usage; the rest falls back to alphabet sections (A B C …).

  • With a large app library, these alphabet headers add visual noise and break the muscle-memory of users who remember apps purely by how often they launch them, not by their names.

Proposed Solution

  1. Add a new sort option “Usage (Full List)”.

  2. Sort the entire list by either total launch count or recent usage frequency, descending.

  3. Hide alphabet section headers (and, if desired, the alphabet scroller) for this mode.

Benefits

  • The most-used apps are always at the very top, minimizing scroll time.

  • A cleaner, uninterrupted list improves one-hand reachability and quick glances.

  • Even with hundreds of apps, users can rely on muscle memory (“second most-used app is always ~2 cm below the first”) instead of searching or creating favorites.
