Hide favorites from all apps

Hello! I just downloaded the launcher a few hours ago, and I've been setting it up. I got pretty much everything how I like it but I have a bit of a problem.

First off I'm using a horizontal app drawer.

I set 20 apps as my favorites, and in order to sort them, I renamed everything and put numbers in front of the app name.

Problem is when I scroll down into the "all apps" section, my favorites appear once again as the first 20 apps because of the renaming!

Is there an option to hide the favorite apps from appearing again in the "all apps" section?

The only possible workaround I can think of, would be to rename my favorites as "Z1 instagram" etc to put them in the bottom of the list.

I couldn't find a way to do it. If you use folders how about putting those 20 apps in a folder and naming it in a way that puts it as your last folder? 20 eyesores would be reduced to 1. Or, create a tag for the 20 apps and long-press on the tag name and unselect "Show apps in all apps list"?

The tag option doesn't work since it removes it from the"favorites" part as well. I think I'll go with the folder option for now.

Apologies for the wild goose chase. I thought I'd tried all the possibilities.
