You can change the view and window size to get icons into a column or
columns but it looks a bit odd to me.

I don't know if it is possible without a third party add on. I am using
Classic Shell from Sourceforge, and it allows me to list all the Control
Panel items in a single column sub menu of the Start menu.

You don't need any third-party utility to do that. Windows 7 will show the
Control Panel in the Start Menu as a menu itself, ie a list...

Sure, if you don't require true alphabetical order :-)

IMO, the weird thing is that the code to sort such a list properly is
very simple, yet many programs don't do it.

Try:
R-click on Start/Orb in bottom LHS; select 'Properties'; Select
Start Menu tab is not already selected; L-Click on 'Customize'
button; Find the Control Panel selection buttons; select 'Display as
Menu', OK your way out. Now you see a column list when you select
'Control Panel' from the Start menu.

Could be. Classic Shell is the first thing I install in Windows 7, so I
don't know much about the default options.
