Sort by... any column.

At the moment, we can't change the sort order of the apps.  They sort alphanumerically by their 'Display Name'.
But if we wanted to install a new app, but couldn't quite remember its 'Display Name', but did remember the Publisher, it's difficult to search this now huge list of apps to find the publisher's name, that is otherwise randomly placed in the list of apps.

Could we have the otherwise 'normal' ability to sort by any column we wish?
Yes, the value of sorting by the version number is nearing zero, but someone might find it useful one day!

And when Categories are returned to us, this can easily be dealt with by being able to sort by categories, or display name, or publisher, etc...  With the default always being showing divided up into categories.
This should then suit everyone's needs.
Again, when we only had a 'small' app list, these things weren't so important.  But that's changed now we have the very much expanded list!

I've since realised, that it's actually worse...
If you navigate away from the tab/page, and back again, the column sizes are reset.  :'(
