How do I order items in Mac Book Pro Alphabetically in Launchpad? They are currently unorganized and I want to order. Right clicking to order does not have menu to sort .
Following command does not work either,
defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true; killall Dock
Currently have MacBook Pro 15-inch, 2018. Mac OS Big Sur
Prefer to look for automated auto arrange solution, not Manually dragging/dropping
As the Launchpad cannot be ordered alphabetically, except manually, I suggest to use instead the Applications folder which is already ordered alphabetically:
Drag the Applications folder onto the Dock, ensure that it is set as a Stack and sorted in Name, and use it instead.
A useful third-party software product is Launchpad Manager, commercial license at $7.99 for up to 5 computers, and a trial is available. It can do the ordering and much more.
You can order them alphabetically... manually. Just drag them into the order you want. I've never heard of another way to sort/view in Launchpad, but I also never use it anyway.
If I want to launch Slack (and if it's not in my Dock), I press my Spotlight shortcut key (Cmd-Space), type "Slack", then Return.
Or setup a keyboard-shortcut tool. I use Apptivate to launch my most-used apps.
Maybe if Apple had a touch-screen the Launchpad would make sense, but until then, there are much better ways to find and launch apps...
