In IOS 15 reset lead to just a screen to prepare a new phone? Reset used to give a choice to reset Home Screen layout. This would alphabetize all the apps. How can I do this now?

Thanks, Axel, thatg is the right answer as it turns out. At i in the morning last night I actually tried Apple's text-messaging support and it actually worked very well. The reason I was confused is that Apple has put the Reset functionality on the world's most scary looking settings page with graphics of danger and extreme warnings and placed it all in the new settings category of transfer or reset iPhone (or iPad). It has truly made the "reset" features look as if your do not ever want to touch them as it must have something to do with setting up to transfer data. I mean, OMG, Apple needs to redesign this particular part of the redesign!

Hello there,
As it turns out, you were taking the right steps to resetting your Home Screen layout.
Open Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.
Hope this helps!
I cannot remember whether Resetting Home Screen Layout alphabetized the apps on the Home Screen. I think the function just put the Apple apps back on their default positions. Don't think they were in alphabetical order.
You can try it out in iOS 15 to confirm, if you want. Open Settings ➔ General ➔ Transfer or Reset iPhone ➔ Reset ➔ Reset Home Screen Layout.

Yep, as I said below in my response to another (correct) answer -- Apple really needs to fix this new page the reset command is on. The new graphic and all is like putting a skull and crossbones on an aspirin bottle. Thanks!
You are welcome and in the end, I am glad that all has worked out for you.
