Reorder Contacts - Reorder It!

Such a great single-purpose app.

It's the only app I have seen that does this. It works well but -1 star because it could use a UI refresh/update.

Does exactly what it's supposed to with a clean easy to use interface. A bargain at twice the price.

Why the F does Apple not have this in the contacts. It works great. Best dollar on an app spent yet.

I have some pretty large contacts with multiple phone numbers, emails addresses etc. When I update them, I can use "re-order it" to put the more important phone numbers/emails/etc in the contact at the top, or wherever I want to put them. Why Apple does not include this capability in their own "contacts" app is surprising to me. I have been using this app for years over multiple versions of iOS, different iPads and iPhones, without any problems whatsoever. Works great as of iOS 17. Thank goodness for this developer who created an easy to use app for this purpose. It is an incredible timesaver when updating a contact with a lot of fields. Glad to see that it is occasionally being updated. For those who don't understand how it works, find the contact you want to reorder (the app includes a helpful search bar), select the field that you want to re-order (email, phone etc), then using the 3 line "hamburger" bars on the right hand side, "press and hold" to change the order of that field. By default, the "delete" option is turned off. You can turn on (bottom right hand corner) if you desire to delete fields in a contact. Note: The app will not show a contact that does NOT have multiple field entries for the contact type you are looking to rearrange. This makes sense as it reduces screen clutter, though I could see it might be confusing to some.

This app does one important thing very well. It provides exactly the drag-to-reorder bars I wish existed in the native Contacts app. Now I don’t have to delete my friend’s old home address—I can just rename it “previous”, use this app to reorder it downward, and his current address now shows up first in Maps, etc. Thanks so much!

Reorder It is one of the simplest and most delightful apps in the whole iPhone ecosystem. It takes a common and annoying problem — changing the order of various contact information — provides an easy solution with no frills and no privacy invasion. Great stuff.

Developer responded to my comment about text being difficult to read in dark mode. Developer fixed the problem. App works great and developer is responsive. 5 stars to both. By the way, I didn’t realize dark mode was controlled by the global setting. My bad.

I find it bizarre that Apple still does not have this ability. This also works on Apple Silicon Macs - seems you have to re-order thiings seperately from iPhone. Also, if you are confused why some entries do not appear at all - it's because there is nothing to reorder - i.e. any particular field only has one entry. One use case where this app is useful is CarPlay. If you share your ETA and speak the name of the contact, it appears to choose the first number it finds in the contact - which might be a landline.
