String tuning icon shows in printout
In the attached file, the tuning fork icon above the TAB staff shows in the printout. It seems like that should be suppressed.
A question: can the elements in the palettes menu be put in alphabetical order?

I am sure that, if you add the tuning fork/symbol you want the score to show it as well. How else would the player be aware of the tunning?
If you don't want to have it shown in the printout, just select it and press V (shortcut for hide).
Your other question, you can re-arrange the order of the palettes manually by dragging them.

I can't believe it is as easy a drag-n-drop to arrange to palette items ; thank you!
Regarding the tuning fork; I don't think I put it there, but perhaps. In any case, I can't select it; I can only click on it to see the string tunings.

Click on it is sufficient enough to select it. After the click, just press the V to make the symbol invisible.
It will still show in the page, but a bit grey now but will not export/show in a printout.
Also, instead of showing the fork, you can also show the string tunings by clicking the eye icon in the string tunings dialog. Just in case you do want to show the string tuning in the score. If there is no string set to be visible, it turns into the tuning fork.

As long as in the tuning dialog all eyes are closed, there's IMHO no point in showing the tuning fork on the printout, as it doesn't serve any purpose, doesn't convey any information.
So it should be invisible by default, and independant of the tunings themself
Is it possible that the fork icon has been removed in a newer MuseScore build? I got the feature with the newest update (OS: Windows 10 Version 2009 or later, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 4.2.1-240230937, revision: d757433), and no fork icon appears in the score, even though the manual still says so (https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/alternate-string-tunings).

It appears that I shot too quickly. The icon is there, I only missed it because it was hidden behind the user dialog, and I chose a preset tuning. When choosing a preset tuning, the fork icon is replaced by the individual string tuning instructions unless all of them are hidden.

And, I support you in that the icon should be unvisible by default.
