The "forever friends" friendship level was rolled out on December 11 of last year. Immediately once people got the update, they started to notice that their friends were out of order and that swiping through their friends also wasn't following the same order as shown in the list. Surely niantic knew about this before the update and, I suppose, were planning to fix it. But then weekly challenges made it even worse, and things got more and more out of order. It's been FIVE MONTHS like what are they even doing over there?
This is my friends list sorted by friendship level, descending (higher friendship level at the top). I have several friends that are at "forever friends" level that are lower in the list than "best friends".
