iOS Kasa App - How do I reorder how devices appear on the screen?

How do I reorder how smart devices appear on the app screen? I have smart plugs appear first, followed by smart switches, with each category ordering devices alphabetically. WIth 11 devices, I need to reorder how they appear so that my most used and most important devices show up first and immediately. I tried under Settings _ Widget Settings where it says, "Select and order which devices appear in the devices widget." but reordering things there didn't change how devices appear under Devices where one selects On and Off. For as smart as this devices are, the app should be smart enough to permit reordering how devices appear.

The devices do order according to device type and in alphabetical order. Althought you are not able to manually move the devices around, what you can do is to create a group by selecting the plug symbol on the top right inside the Kasa devices menu, then select add group.

Everything needed to reorder is in the settings - widget settings. It allows you to select and reorder how and which widgets appear but then just doesn't save the settings to the devices page when you exit. The widget reorder setting was obviously created for just the purpose that everyone wants - why isn't it connected back to the device page?

@Spiker Just ran into this problem myself. Figured out that it auto sorts the devices by name, so a little creativity in what you name each device can accomplish this. Put a space before the name and it goes to the top. Start the name with a number and it'll be above anything that starts with a letter. With the rest of the functionality here, you shouldn't have to do something like this, but until there's a way to do it built into the app, this seems like a serviceable work around to me.
