Galaxy S6 Edge App sort (alphabetically)

[Anonymous]

I have just got the new S6 Edge and have been trying to find how to sort all of my apps into alphabetical order, but there seems to be no way of doing it. I have looked on google and this problem seems to be happening in the UK after the different carriers do whatever they do with the phones as there seems to be no problem in a lot of other place around the world.

Has anyone got any idea how to get around this problem

It's the same on my Nexus 7 but there is no option button to edit or sort.

Hey Guys

This isn’t an O2 change, we have given the feedback asking for it to be made available on lollipop devices.  For devices that were shipped on Kitkat or earlier that have now been upgraded to lollipop the feature is still there.

Ok, Thanks Brad. So it is phones which have lollipop on them originally have this problem. Hopefully their will be an update soon. The only way around this would be to download a third party launcher

My normal S6 has not go this feature to put apps in alphabetical order -  it is very handy feature but its not there - (its annoying coz all new apps that's newly installed get put on the last app tray page) - hope we get a fix for this in the future.

The more I hear about Lollipop the more loathe I am to install it. I have it downloaded but I'm waiting for maybe the next update to fix these issues.

Still listed alphabetically on the Note 4.

Excuse the thread necromancy,

I had an S4, that upgraded from KitKat to Lollipop and the app drawer remained sorted alphabetically.

New S6 has them higglety pigglety which is of precisely no use to anyone whatsoever. No option to sort. So it seems to be wholly an S6 thing and o2/Telefonica need to bring pressure to bear upon Google/Samsung to allow a AZ sort. Why would I want apps ordered in date of install rather than the universal standard alphabet?!

Almost as annoying as Facebook/Instagram installed on the ROM and not uninstallable.

One of our members @viridis had the S6 Edge last week. He may want to comment on this @Anonymous

I am site I've seen that an update is imminent to sort out the app order and O2 have sent it back to Samsung for release. ....

Yeah the 5.1.1 update brings it back.
Sammy have rolled it out already so it's down to O2 to push it out to their phones now.
