iOS 8 Share Sheet not saving reorganized services order

I love the fact iOS 8 includes some third party applications! This is so helpful!


Unfortunately, I have a little problem with the Share Sheet: my preference settings are not fully being saved.


What Works

The On/Off settings of applications is being saved. That does work. :-)


Problem

The order in which I organize the Share services is not being saved after I close Safari. :-(


For example, if I move Mail above Message, then Mail comes first in the Share Sheet (my setting). However, if I close Safari and reopen it, then Message comes first before Mail in my Share Sheet (default setting).


Comments

This is not a big problem, but is a small annoyance in such a cool new feature, and makes me a little wary about how well the Share Sheet will continue to work overall.


Workarounds

Either do not close Safari, reorganize the Share services each time, or scroll to the right for my preferred (by set by default to be low on the list) services.


OS: iOS 8.0

Hardware: iPhone 4S, iPad 2
