Sorting Home Screen Icons

[tmozer]

I wish to sort my home screen app icons alphabetically. I've done so for the app drawer list but cannot find a way to do it with the icons on the home screens (other than arranging them manually, which would be a total pain). What I have found is there should be a "sort" button that comes up when you swipe up from a home screen and tap on the three dot menu button. No sort option appears for me! I am using a new S9+ with Android 8.1 and the stock Samsung launcher. Why don't I see a sort button???

If you delete all the apps on your homescreens, and then select them all in the app drawer, and drag them to the homescreen, they should be alphabetical.

I guess that would work, thanks. I'll give it a shot. However I still would like to know what happened to the "sort" option.......
