Are you trying to drag and drop your habits to organize your day, but they keep snapping back to their original position or resetting after you leave the screen?

We want to apologize for this inconvenience. Here is the latest update on this issue and a temporary workaround you can use.

The Issue: Manual Reordering Bug

We are currently aware of a bug in the latest version of the mobile app where the "Manual Reorder" function is not saving changes correctly. You might find that:

  • You drag a habit to a new spot, but it doesn't stay there.

  • You arrange your list perfectly, but it resets to the old order when you close and reopen the app.

Status: Our development team has identified the cause of this issue and is actively working on a fix. We plan to release a solution in the very next app update.

Temporary Workaround: Use Automatic Sorting

While we work on fixing the manual drag-and-drop feature, you can still organize your list effectively by using our Automatic Sorting options.

These options are stable and will keep your list consistently organized based on specific criteria.

How to Change Your Sort Order:

  1. Open the Habitify app to the main Journal view.

  2. Tap on the 3-dot menu (...) or the Sort icon (usually in the top right corner).

  3. Choose one of the automatic options:

    • By Name (A-Z): Ideal for finding habits quickly alphabetically.

    • By Reminder Time: This is the most popular option. It automatically orders your habits chronologically based on when you are scheduled to do them (e.g., 7:00 AM habits at the top, 8:00 PM habits at the bottom).

Using "Sort by Reminder Time" is often the best alternative, as it naturally organizes your day in the order you need to complete tasks.

We sincerely apologize for the disruption to your workflow and appreciate your patience while we get the manual reordering back up and running!
