Many people have asked if there’s a way to change the list order for Your Guides in Apple Maps, and the answer is “No” with suggestions for making a feature-request with Apple.
But there is a way, a bit tedious but simple!
When you change the Name of one of Your Guides, it moves to the top of the list. So simply make note of all the names of Your Guides (perhaps in the Numbers app), sort alphabetically, then starting with the top of the alphabetical list of Your Guides add a single character to the end of the name of the guide (i.e., a “space”) and Save the change. HINT: Start with Favorites so it is always at the top of Your Guides!
How do you edit the name of a Your Guides?
- Click/Touch on the header for Your Guides in the sliding panel that includes the “Search Maps“ field.
- Open the Guide you want to edit
- Find the Pencil icon at the bottom of the Guide‘s list and click/touch it.
- Add a space to the end of the Name at the top of the panel.
- Click the checkmark on the upper-right corner of the panel to Save.
- Move to the next Guide on your alphabetized list.
- Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
Of course, if you add a new Guide you will have to repeat this process for all Guides after the new one (alphabetically) to the place it belongs in your alphabetical order.
Hope this helps!
