I can see the logic behind it, and does in fact arrange my icons more or less that way.

However the most used applications that I can't get on my active standby menu I try to put one the first menu screen.

Then I arrange the icons in categories after Music, Internet, Tools, GPS, Dictionary and Games.

In each folder I place the icons so that I can easily access them with my keypad (1 for the first in icon in the gridview etc.)

1. I try to constantly keep the most used ones in each category into the "twelve places".

2. If however it don't fit I try to put them downmost so that I can easily access them by pressing up two times.

In addition to placing them into categories I try to put the icons in such a way that they always make up for an odd number.
(Of cours that is not always possible, in which 2 come in)

All in all the logic is not that far from what you do on your computer on a daily basis. (Especially if you're using Windows where the menu often will get clustered if you don't arrange things into categories.)
