Is there any way to automatically sort all apps across all screens?

There is a way! If you go to your Settings > General > Reset, there is an option to reset the home screen layout. Pick that option and all your apps will be rearranged in alphabetical order. But you'll lose all your folders and maps...

That is pretty cool but also resets your dock which is kind of a pain. – James McMahon Mar 17 '12 at 12:59
Yep. I did it too and I wish I didn't... But hey, at least they are in alfabetic order ;-) – Michiel Mar 17 '12 at 13:12

No. Apps are extremely limited when it comes to modifying anything outside their sandbox. You might find an app capable of sorting the icons if your device is jail broken. But there definitely isn't one available on the app store.

That is too bad. While I understand why apple puts such restrictions in place it would nice to have app permissions like on android. – James McMahon Mar 17 '12 at 18:25
