Tab Sorting lets you split out various categories of item to their own categories, and it does so dynamically (which can be hit or miss sometimes). Putting kitchen items in a kitchen category, bedroom items in bedroom, and similar.

Unfortunately your floors menu will probably still be a nightmare if you have too many mods, in which case you should try the Hide Menu When Placing Items mod (that might not be the exact name, but it's something like that).

what I meant, an example. you open a kitchen menu, there you can see stuff sorted in one static way. or you click a pawn and see some actions, always the same in the same order. I'd love what comes first etc.

and the size: I'd really love to make these squares like 2x smaller, so I could see more boxes per row.

The latter is easy, just change the UI scale to be 1.0 instead of the default 1.5. The larger scale can be nice on bigger monitors, but all that extra screenspace is easily eaten up by mods adding dozens of new buttons and icons, so reducing the scaling a bit can help there.

On the sorting of icons, that's all handled via the UIOrder element. If you've got two items, one with a UIOrder of 1000, and the other has 2000, the latter will always display later in the list. I don't know of any mod that can change that since modders can use whatever values they like, which might not be even slightly related to the default game's values.

It might be possible for someone to write some C# code that changes how that works, and makes it so the ordering is done alphabetically or whatever, but I'm not aware of one that does.
