Bug Description
Instead of sorting apps in alphabetical order in the grid view, we should sort them in the order of most used to least. When a person opens slingshot, he or she wants to open the app their searching for as quick as possible. That app is most likely an app that they use fairly often, so they will find it faster than if it were in alphabetical order.
(The numix project Ozon OS also lists the apps depending on usage.)

Currently, there are three view:
1) The Grid view: A long alphabetical list of all the programs
2) The Categories view: The applications are broken into different groups. Inside the group, the applications are sorted alphabetically.
2) The Search view: A vertical list sorted on how well the program matches the text the user just typed in.
I am of the opinion that view #1 is necessary. This is due to the fact that there seem to be some users who don't understand dynamic sorting and will feel lost without a static alphabetically sorted list.
Note: When you launch slingshot, it automatically displays the same screen as before so the app that you _last_ clicked on will be right there.
