Your Question

I'm having all my certificates stored on 4 devices. Only on two devices the certificates are sorted in the same way as on the other. On the other two devices the certificates are sorted in another sequence. I have not marked any person as favorite. How exactly are certificates sorted and why does the app sort differently on different devices?

Hi @Ein-Tim,

thank you for your message. First of all which sort do you mean. In the Detail page of a Person in the bottom?

Hi Faith, no I mean the order in which persons are listed when opening the app. I thought they are sorted by alpahbetical order, however, I now see that this is not always the case.

[Kurt57]

There is no explicit sorting logic, only if available, the favorite is displayed at the beginning. Implicitly, it could be that the person's certificates are displayed further up.

So the app just shows the people in a random order?

[Kurt57]

Yes

[timokoenig]

So why not set a fixed order? eg. alphabetical
