I created a list of custom telescopes, eyepieces, finders, barlows, and focal reducers in the recent release of SkySafari 6 Pro. I added a number of additional eyepieces to my initial list and subsequently attempted to reorder the aggregate list using the EDIT dialog, dragging a number of eyepieces from the top of the list towards the bottom and some eyepieces from the bottom back towards the top. SkySafari did not properly track these changes and the result was not correct. It seems when one attempts to reorder multiple objects this EDIT function isn't tracking the sequence of changes correctly - though it shows to be selecting the intended object, it exhibits some sort of pointer problem and the wrong object is moved. The display appeared to get confused at times with overlayed text and blackened areas. The work-around required me to move one object at a time. Occasional lock ups were experienced adding new items to the equipment list. This was an iPad 4 running iOS 9.3.4. I will attempt the same on an iPad Air running iOS 9.3.2.

Gary Carter I reproduced this on my iPad Air. The simplest way to reproduce this problem is to:
1. Create a custom list of eyepieces containing a variety of different eyepieces (mine had around 50)
2. Enter the EDIT mode of the Equipment list.
3. Reorder the eyepieces by dragging the first eyepiece in the list down towards the bottom of the list to the 40th position. Grab the 41st eyepiece and drag it to the top of the list. Repeat this process by dragging the second eyepiece down to the 41st position, and dragging the 42nd eyepiece back to the top....etc.
The problem will soon present itself.
