    There is no such feature to sort entries or headers in Android settings.

    Maybe some manufacturers implemented their own version of the settings
    app which provides this, but the original version of Android as used on Google Pixel devices does not have that.

    Some phones have search in settings which I find great. I can even get
    to app settings via that. If yours doesn't then maybe that's something
    to look for in a replacement.

    Id does have search but that's quite a few interventions, not to mention
    the tiny keyboard. What I cannot figure out is why the entries are
    scrambled, did some dev sort in another language and then just let it go
    at that? It's a PITA!
