Change order of apps in iphone or ipad notification center

This will show you how to change order of apps in iphone or ipad notification center for groups of apps in your ipad or iphone notification center. It helps when you have lots of apps that send lots of notifications and you only want the important ones on top.

goto settings > notifications

There are two options to control the order of the notifications in notification center: ‘manually’ and ‘by time’.

Choosing ‘by time’ will put the group with the latest notifications on top.
Choosing ‘manually’ will let you pick the order of the groups of notifications when you show the notification center.

I generally have mine set to manual, as I’m not really concerned about most things other than my email and my calendars, which go on top.

    I’m trying to short it manually, but as soon as I leave settings it changes back to a random order… Is this happening with anyone else???

    I’m having the same issue with the order changing back to random order after I leave the notifications setting page.

    I had the same problem with my wife’s iPhone. Mine worked fine, so I rebooted her phone and now it works fine. The orders stay the way I placed them. Hope this helps others. :)
