Splitting this out of #62963 as per @susnux’s feedback at #62963 (comment)

Summary

The app-menu currently has apps very wildly and inconsistently sorted. Especially now that we have the rows of 4 apps each, like a home screen, it would be good to have the default Nextcloud Hub experience nice and organized.

The sorting is based on this logic, with one bullet point representing a row, and 4 app icons fitting in each row:

  • Basics: Dashboard, Files, Office, Photos
  • Collaboration: Talk, Mail, Calendar, Contacts
  • Productivity: Deck, Collectives, Tables, Teams
  • Other: Activity, all other apps
  • "More apps" (for admins) or "App store" (for users) should always be the last entry, like it is now.

Some things don’t fit the imaginary categories completely, like "Teams" being with Productivity. But Groupware is together as it makes sense. And since the labels don’t show up anywhere I think it’s fine.
