Can I change the position of new Reminders?

I use Reminders every day, and have always wanted to know WHY any new reminders I enter appear at the bottom of my list of reminders?! I have about 200, so scrolling down each time to check on a recent reminder is a bit of pain in the a**s, it has always been like this.

I would have thought it would have been an obvious option to have a setting to enable you to have your reminders displayed in which ever order you want? This affect all my devices using iCloud, and all my devices have the latest updates etc etc.

Any ideas?

While you can manually move reminders up and down a list, there is no way to sort them. If you have up to 200 reminders in a list, you may want to consider consolidating them into group lists rather than just have them in a single list. That is quite a list to manage. You can provide feedback to Apple letting them know you would like to see some type of sorting by going to their feedback page, Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Thanks, but I need a newly inserted reminder to appear at the top of the list, and not go to the bottom as it currently does. I also don’t want to set up new lists, I only use reminders as a quick reference tool, which would be able to be referred to even more quickly if new reminders appeared at the top.

Thanks, I’ve sent them my query. I don’t think there is an option to change the position of newly entered reminders, for some unknown reason, but hopefully enough people have asked a similar question.

If you press and hold, the reminder looks like it is picked up off the page, just hold it and you can move it up and down in the list.

Well, at this time that is not a feature. If you sent them feedback, that is the best you can do at this time.
