Samsung's refusal to organize the app drawer alphabetically has been a thing since at least the Galaxy S2 where users needed to download a third-party app in order to switch from the default ‘custom' order. Thankfully, there is an option to do so on your Galaxy S21 (reviewed here) but you have to do it manually, but don't worry, it's quick and easy to do and we show you how to switch to an alphabetized app drawer after the break.

  1. Mine has “Settings” and “Choose apps to search in” – if it had “Sort” I wouldn’t be on here. Do these “experts” actually have a S21?

    1. Hi there. That guide was specificaly created by myself when using a Galaxy S21 Ultra just after it launched last year, as you can tell from the accompanying video. Can you email me a screenshot of the app drawer options? peter.h@talkandroid.com
