Hiding apps displayed in the Apps tab and preserving the order of plugins registered in the App Tab

What are you trying to accomplish
I want to hide unnecessary apps (for example, Insights) inside the Apps tab. Is there a way to do that or to configure it?
If there are multiple plugins registered in the appTab , they are sometimes rendered in an inconsistent order. Can I define a strict order of plugins registered there (e.g., I would want the Catalog to always be the first, then another plugin named Plugin2, and then Plugin3)?
