That is a completely valid insight. Either solution would definitely make it easier to scroll to the correct area of the list.

I would imagine that for anything not just-installed, having the list sorted by install time would be a nightmare. I have no idea what the relative order of installation would be for any of my apps. As for the name, I would hope that application authors wouldn't be so daft as to have the package's name be different that the actual launcher's title, although I wouldn't put it past somebody to do that.
