    appDisplay: Use custom function to retrieve item page and position
    
    It is important that '_loadApps()' return a sorted list -- adding the
    same icons at the same positions but in different orders results in
    a wrong icon grid.
    
    Add support for using a custom positioning function, and implement it
    in AppDisplay. Because FolderView doesn't implement a custom sorting
    function, the items are still sorted alphabetically.
