When I add an item to the reading list in the dev.to iPhone app, and then I look at the list, the order seems random.
So I end up searching for items I added recently. Is this the expected behavior, and is there a way to change it to show latest added first?

Hey Bertil,
I know we're working on updating our Reading List section. This sounds like it must be a bug of sorts as it's also my understanding that posts are meant to be listed in the order of which you bookmarked them (or possibly by their post date).
I'm also seeing the same issue as @itsasine ... Oct/Nov posts have bumped their way up my reading list. This seems weird.
I'll flag this to the team.
Thanks for asking this question!
Following up, I wrote a bug report about this - github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/...
Appreciate you raising this issue.
My understanding, as a Reading List power user (almost 2k items), is that the list is purely on when you bookmarked them. There may also be a mechanism for "bumping" it up if the article has been updated since you bookmarked it, but I haven't looked at the code to see.
Interesting. For me, it doesn’t sort by the date I bookmarked it. It would be really interesting what the cause is.
I just double-checked it on my Reading List, and it almost looks like a whole slew of Oct/Nov type stuff got reindexed which prompted that "bumping" I mentioned. I'm seeing Nov 2018 then Oct 2018 so it's not by date or select order. But it did update very recently... huh, weird.
