HomeKit devices keep rearranging in control center.

I have four rooms with lamps in HomeKit, all lamps in a room are grouped to a zone so i can control each room with one button/slider in the Control Center. One thing that drives me crazy is that they keep rearranging its order in the control center based upon the amount of interactions. This is a ridiculous bad design decision. When i want to turn off multiple zones shortly after another, the second, third etc. button i am aiming for keep switching its position right before touching my phone.


Hopefully someone at Apple reads this.

Its one of those decisions that were made with the intention to make things easier for the user but is actually doing the opposite because the users muscle memory will constantly be challenged and prevented to develop, with the result of slowing things down.

Imagine the physical light switches in your apartment would rearrange its position based on an algorithm and you would always have to look out where you can turn your lights off while you in a hurry and just want to leave your flat.


How do you handle this behavior? Any workaround other than directly open the Home app?
