Thank you. I didn't realize that command existed. There. Now my Applications folder is right where it ought to be--in alphabetical order alongside the other folders. :)
I tend to remove items from the dock that I don't use frequently, and that's been all the stuff I downloaded from the App Store. It's not for me, most of it, it's for my daughter, so I don't need it on the dock. Thanks again.
