List order reset to unclear default

Skysafari 7. An issue present since 6 continues. If you import a custom list, or even create one in the app with custom ordering, the initial order is maintained for a few minutes, then when it backs up to cloud, get scrambled and there's no way to restore the original order. This also happens disabling cloud back up.

To reproduce, import a list, center a few objects. Close and reopen the app a few times. In a few minutes the list will get into a chaotic order and can't be restored.

This is a show stopper for visual observation with dobsonian, where careful planning of slew movements is fundamental, often with the aid of external apps like Astroplanner. It has been reported time and time again since 2017 and it was never solved. "Default Order" should be the order stated in a .skylist file and remain that. Or at least there should be a workaround.
