I deleted my husbands old phone number from Emergency Contacts on my iPhone 11 and added his new number. Now he appears at the bottom of my emergency contacts list. How can I re-order the list so he is at the top?

You cannot reorder existing emergency contacts, but you can delete and re-add them.

Thanks, I think. I deleted all the names and re-entered them 3 of the 4, but the 4th name is greyed out in contacts. I can see all the information, but I can't choose it. Same thing when I go into contacts (there are actually quite a few in contacts that are greyed out). Is there something that need I need to change in contacts?
Did you type each contact’s information in to your iPhone from scratch? Or was there some sort of data import?
Do you somehow electronically share your contacts?
If you don’t share, you typed them all in yourself, you never accepted Siri contacts, and your iPhone is not restricted, then it’s hard to imagine why any would be grayed out.
Where are your contacts housed (e.g., iCloud)? Are they all housed in the same place?
all on my iphone as far as I know. This is my first iphone so I'm still learning how and what and where
I transferred them over from my previous phone, a Samsung Galaxy S8+. Should I re-enter all the greyed out ones?
Very likely. It sounds like there was some issue with that transfer process.
Thank you, guess with all this time on my hands, I shouldn't have any excuse not to re-enter all these contacts! thanks, and stay safe, stay healthy
Thanks for your kind wishes. I hope you don’t have to use those emergency contacts but it’s certainly good to be prepared.
You and your family stay safe and healthy as well.
