Improve Fieldtype Picker Readability

Its hard to find the correct fieltype, if the fields are sorted top to bottom, I think it's better UX, if they are from left to right.

We used to have it left to right and folks were saying it would be easier if they were sorted in columns lol 🤔

You could add the following CSS to customize your own control panel:

.fieldtype-list {
    grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr) !important;
    grow-auto-flow: row;
}

Result:

will do that, a UX designer just told me to maybe increase the column gap:

then it would be easier scannable as columns
