Unable to reorder Reminders list

Reminders in IOS 26.01 will not let me reorder my list. I tap the three dots, select Edit Lists, hold on a list i want to move on the three lines to the right. No sign of the list being selected. If I move my finger up or down the screen, a gap appears between other lists, but the ‘selected’ list doesn’t relocate to that position. Works fine in MacOS.

iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26

Apple reminders no section option and other features missing I was trying to use my Apple Reminders app more frequently, and I watched a video on how to set up sections and sub sections in the app, as well as adding icons for the list. When I follow along and try to add a section under a list, the option is not available. It also does not allow me to view list in a horizontal view and other options that are available on the video I was watching. I can’t seem to find any help online on how to add this functionality, but it seems like I’m using a version that is very pared down. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Can't seem to manually reorder items in Reminders app I have got a new iPhone and I'm no longer able to click and drag reminders to a different place in the list. I used to be able to before but I can't find how to set it up the same way. Currently when I touch and hold an item in the list, it thinks I want to edit it. Can anyone help? I'm sure it's something simple.

iOS 18 Reminders search fails to find many completed items. When Searching for some items in the iOS 18 Reminders app, often completed items are not found using the Search function. Going to the list where the item should be, showing completed items, and manually scrolling through down through the completed reminders will locate it. By “uncompleting" the target item, search will find it. This bug has happened before in other major updates and is eventually fixed; meanwhile, however, it’s a big time-wasting nuisance!
