Sorting apps alphabetically on iPhone XR

It seems like it would be easy for Apple to provide a way for people to sort apps alphabetically on their phones. Does anyone know of a way to do it, or if Apple is going to add that functionality? I’ve tried resetting my Home Screen or whatever it is. But then all the apps I’ve sent to the Cloud and removed from my phone show up on my phone again.

Does anyone know of a smartphone that will let the apps be sorted?

Apple, please provide this very basic ability in a software update.

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen

Reset Home Screen Layout: Returns the built-in apps to their original layout on the Home screen. All the other Apps will be arranged alphabetically from Home Page 2 onwards.

Note: There is no undo on this. All the App folders you had created will be removed.

Thank you, I tried that. The problem with it is that I have a lot more apps than I have storage space for on my phone. So I have a lot of them only up on the Cloud. When I do the Home Screen reset, all the apps I have only on the Cloud try to get reloaded on my iPhone. I guess what I’ll have to do is totally delete a bunch of them so I don’t have more apps than I have storage space for. Thank you for trying to help me, though. It is appreciated.
