How App Sorting Should Work

"We love the iPhone's ultra simple homescreen user interface - as long as we're not trying to change anything. Once we get tired of the old arrangement of icons, moving them all around to match our new mood is like eating rice with a tool big enough for only one grain at a time. After about 5 grains, you decide you weren't hungry in the first place. Want to organize 5 pages of apps alphabetically? Hah! See you next week."

I know Apple's not in the business of taking unsolicited advice (it's part of their charm) but this video demonstrates exactly how iPhone app management should work. For someone like me with 7 pages of Apps (stop making fun of me!) this would be a God-send. As it is, they're in no particular order just because it's too much work to sort that many apps across that many pages. Luckily, a lot of them have been there long enough that I just know where they are and what screen they're in.
