FCOL stop rearranging my Safari tabs

[Ralfi]

This started happening about a year ago - Safari suddenly decided I didn’t have the power in choosing the order of my tabs, so it started rearranging the order of them.

Absolute disaster of a decision - yet another from IOS18….

When will this abomination of an IOS stop going backwards?

I'm not sure what you mean, my Safari tabs don't seem to have changed order.

Same.

My Safari tabs seem to remain in the same order as I opened them. Maybe OP can describe the issue in more detail and post some screenshots.

Hmm, I place my tabs in a certain order, but soon after, they’re automatically ordered by title name (when I didn’t select either of the two sort options - by Name or by Website).

The only way to kind of avoid this is to pin a tab - which will then always keep that tab first, but if I pin another & it alphabetically comes before the original pinned tab, then those two pinned tabs will also be re-ordered.

It sounds like you might be using a tab group? Sorting tabs is a feature of tab groups: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/organize-your-tabs-with-tab-groups-iph3028ebf68/ios

I am using Tab Groups!

But i've been using them for a while & the auto-rearrangement didn't happen initially. I'm pretty sure IOS18 did something because it was around that time when I noticed my tabs being shuffled. Also, I didn't select 'sort by NAME or WEBSITE' to alter the way they were sorted.
