@Worthing if I remember the post correctly (which is definitely a possiblity) its first installed, first shown and  more than a few customers asking for the ability to do a custom sort.

@Captain11,

It's not, at least on Android, related to install order - if you change your camera names and refresh the app, the order in which they appear changes. (I've tested this multiple times now) I'm 99.9% sure I've captured it correctly above but I want confirmation from SS and to know where the Outdoor cameras come in.

It seems that they are in groups by camera type, then alphabetical.  Doorbell camera is first, followed by indoor cameras, then outdoor cameras.  I was able to put them in the order I wanted by adding the number order before the camera name (i.e. 1. Garage, 2. Back door, etc).  But it still groups them by camera type first.  It would be ideal to be able to order these even more precisely.

I want to thank the community for replying with their feedback since SimpliSafe couldn't be bothered to reply to my question in the last 18 months.
