Hi donfromestevan,


Thank you for the post. I'm glad to answer your question about organizing the People tab in the Find My app.


While there's not a way to set a specific order, you can always mark a person as a Favorite: Locate a friend in Find My on iPhone


"Mark favorite friends

Favorite friends appear at the top of the People list and are marked by a star.

  1. In the People list, find the person you want to mark as a favorite.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Tap the name of the person, then tap Add [name] to Favorites.
    • Swipe left across the person’s name, then tap the star.

To remove a friend from your Favorites, swipe left and tap the star, or tap the friend, then tap Remove [name] from Favorites."


If this isn't quite what you're looking for, you can always send your suggestion to Apple here: Product Feedback


I hope I've answered your question. Take care.

Your reply is helpful. Thank you for taking the time.

This would be a slow process of arranging several Friends.

I am disappointed with the Find My in iOS 13 for a couple of reasons: a) it show any Friends that are close to you, but does not show Friends that are close to each other. Case in point I have three friends that live close to each other in another province. When I locate Friend 1, it doesn't show their relative position to the other two Friends. The older version did that. b) You can move (reorder) Friends in the list friends. c) When you click on a Friend near the bottom of the list you are shown their location, but when you click the close (X) button, you are returned to the top of the list of friends.
