Abstract
A system and method for automatically organizing a user interface. A category is determined for content installed on a device. An icon for the content is displayed in a categorical row in a grid layout for the content's category. The categorical rows may be manipulated by touchscreen gestures, such as moving, expanding, and revealing details about the row, such as the row's categorical label.
