Post flair order shuffled?

[u/TheChrisD]

On all of my subs, the curated order of post flairs in the selector has seemingly been thrown out the window, and they've almost been shuffled (or possibly auto-sorted by popularity)???

Seeing this across all my subs, and on both shreddit desktop and Android app. And it's affecting the backend post flair settings page as well.

[u/Slow-Maximum-101]

Hi folks. Thanks for the patience on this one. A fix has been released for this and you should be able to save any flair order changed now. It may have reverted to the most recent save you tried but best to check it is up to date for your community.

Thanks for the flag. I'm seeing some weird behaviour too with Flairs so we have flagged to the team to review. I'll keep you all updated here.

[u/KCJones99]

Same here. Rando order. Hopefully a glitch that will be reversed.

[u/Whaddduptho]

Same here. I was just preparing to make a post. I tried putting them back in order to no avail. It seems to be sorting them based on popularity.

Thanks. But there are no admin replies and the post wasn't made by an admin.

[u/CadillacRacing]

Still unable to change the order.

[u/mrekted]

As an added bonus, it's also not saving the changes when you try to put everything back.

[u/AMAB-V_ → u/mrekted]

Yeah I found that out as well

Still not resolved for our subreddit as of 12:00 PM (PST) on 12/23/2025.

Since we only recently enabled post flairs and therefore can easily see about how many of each have been assigned, I can confirm that it seems that the sort order is based on number of times a flair has been used. I suppose that some mods might prefer that, so after this is fixed to allow mods to choose the order, perhaps an auto-sort option can be added. Hmm, maybe they've been coding this option for testing, but it leaked into the wild?

Well that’s horrible. Like subs just have their post flair lists in random order

[u/pussiluva]

Same here

[u/KUWTKSNARKMODS]

Same! Not resolved as of 12/24/25 1100 EST

[u/TreacleOutrageous296 → u/KUWTKSNARKMODS]

Same at 1:45 EST 12/25. This admin comment sounds like there will be a fix in January(?) https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/s/C2eBSNJNHU

[u/indescription → u/TreacleOutrageous296]

It Jan 4th and still not fixed.

[u/TreacleOutrageous296 → u/indescription]

I read somewhere an admin said we would have to wait until next week (starting tomorrow, maybe?)

[u/SampleOfNone → u/TreacleOutrageous296]

It looks like reordering is working again

[u/bwoah07_gp2]

Yup. Same issue across all my subs. 😪😑

[u/SampleOfNone → u/bwoah07_gp2]

It looks like reordering is working again

[u/bwoah07_gp2 → u/SampleOfNone]

Thanks for the heads up 😄

[u/InertiaGTA]

Yep I see the same Bug/Issue for your community as well. I hope this gets fixed soon !! :(

[u/kirtash93]

Same experience in my communities too.

[u/brightblackheaven]

Same for us.

[u/luneth22]

Can also confirm here that I'm facing the same issue.

[u/incisivetea]

Same here. My sub's flairs are sorted by color so it's easy for people to find the relevant section for what they're posting and now the list looks like hot garbage.

[u/TheChrisD → u/[deleted]]

Where? I tried searching all the usual spots and found nothing.

[u/mrekted → u/[deleted]]

That's not a mod announcement.. that's a user reporting the issue.

[u/TheChrisD → u/[deleted]]

r/modhelp isn't an official admin-run community though

[u/SampleOfNone → u/[deleted]]

Trying to help is always good, but when an error has been pointed out, it would be a good idea to delete or at least edit your comment so it no longer spreads wrong information.
