I think this is correct. The current design allows you to drag icons and
define your own order. Meaning the order of icons should stay unchanged,
not sorted, even after installing new apps.
But rather than closing this bug I will turn it into an enhancement
request for the option to sort the icons.
** Summary changed:
- In "show applications" the applications are not sorted alphabetically and
does not update when installing new application. New applications are just
added at the end of the last page.
+ Add option to sort icons by name

Add option to sort app icons by name

Bug description:
Upon installing a new application the list in "show applications" is
not updated and just added at the end (last page). The list is also
not sorted. When first installing Ubuntu 20.10, I could get the list
updated by logging in and out, but after installing about 10
applications that stopped working.
