   All ~600 of my user-installed APKs fit into a dozen homescreen folders.   
       
      
   Just like our kitchen dozen drawers and garage toolboxes are ordered, but   
   differently, I maintain ordering on both Android & Windows similarly.   
      
   You maintain Windows like your toolbox, by Phillips & Flathead screwdrivers   
   and adjustable pliers while Android is forced to be simpler like forks and   
   spoons, since it's a much flatter hierarchy on Android than on Windows.   
      
   In each case though, you only get about a dozen top-level hierarchies   
   before it becomes unwieldy, where most people seem to store the Android   
   launch icons in their most-used order first, and least-used order last.   
      
   Windows' filesystem doesn't easily allow me anything but alphabetical   
   though, so the ~600 user-installed apps need to fit into a dozen folders.   
       
   --   
   I tend to feel sorry for people who aren't organized because they have to   
   resort to using a search just to find files that they put on their devices.
