we have had so many Apple devices down the years that it’s impossible to remember which is which, so listing devices that are signed in isn’t helpful. Why doesn’t Apple identify the new device now signed in? Or list them in reverse chronological order? Or something?

If you give your devices unique names then when you go to Settings/[your name] it will list all of the devices logged in to your Apple ID by name.
You can name them in Settings/General/About/Name on iOS devices, and System Settings on a Mac.
But I’m curious why you have so many devices; Apple IDs are personal; they shouldn’t be shared any more than you would share a toothbrush. If you share an Apple ID with someone else many bad things will happen. Each user should have their own Apple ID, then you can create Family Sharing→What is Family Sharing? - Apple Support. That way you can share what you want to share and not share what you don’t want to share.
It is OK to share an Apple ID among devices used by one person, such as an iPhone, an iPad and a Mac; in fact, it is a very useful thing to do. But not between devices used by different people.
Here is Apple’s FAQ: https://appleid.apple.com/faq/#!&page=faq. See the 4th bullet item.
And here is Apple's expansion of what I've posted→Make sure that each family member has a unique Apple ID - Apple Support

How can I recognize each Apple device that is signed in when I have so many?
