That same thing hapened to me last night... the problem was that the tray was in a horizontal form (rectangle) and the scrolling was set to vertical.. so you might wanna set the right scrolling option.

It happens to me no matter which way I scroll. I've actually tried both ways several times.

Thats weird.. it worked for me, and the problem was exactly as you description.. sorry i couldnt help anymore here.. make sure you summit the bug!

No problem I appreciate you trying to help rather than stay silent. Maybe I'll play with it a little more when I get home to double check.

I have the same issue. I just kept playing with deleting and re-adding until I got it to work.

What's worse for me is that when I change orientation, it causes problems. I have different home screens set up for vertical/horizontal but the icons overlap in horizontal but not in vertical. When I fix one the other is screwed up.

Edit your Custom Tray and change the sort option! You want Alpha or List.

Thanks Lemon it looks like List does exactly what I want. What is the purpose of snap to grid if you have list? Is it just in case you wanted icons randomly placed within a custom tray?

Lemon-can you provide a bit more explanation on what the sort options actually do (I notice that the document on this seems to be missing from the site now)?

Alpha is pretty self explanatory, but the behavior of the other three are confusing me. List seem to be the closest to what I'm looking for, but I can't figure out what the sort priority is based on. Is there a way to manually reorder the icons?

• Alpha - self explanatory
• List - still sorts but you can arbitrarily drag shortcuts into different orders.
• Freeform snapped - drag into a grid. Caveat is that you can also drag multiple shortcuts into the same grid space - hence that overlapping. If that happens just drag them out and place them somewhere else - this is only really useful if you have your tray large enough so that it doesn't scroll
• Freeform - literally put a shortcut anywhere you like down to the pixel, drag and drop.

Excellent, thanks for the explanation!

What I was missing was when I was using "List", and I added icons, they seemed to be randomly popping in wherever they liked. Makes sense now. For those that might still be having issues:

Alpha will automatically organize and arrange the icons in alphabetical order, you cannot change this.

List (and others)-you can rearrange the icons after adding them by a longhold on the icon, then drag it within the tray. However, if you are using a narrow or thin tray, be careful, because if you drag the icon outside of the tray, it will be removed and you will need to re-add it (this is why I was getting confused, I wasn't being careful enough as I moved the icons).

List definitely seems to be the most useful and commonly used (to me, anyway), but I can certainly see the reason for including the others.

Yah. So the thing to remember here as well is that this currently only works in custom trays. Not sure when the functionality will come to tagged trays also.
