From the Terminal.app, copy and paste:


defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true; killall Dock



This will arrange all apple stock/system applications on the first launchpad page in the default order.

On the second, third etc. page all the other apps will be arranged alphabetically.
