I'm on Mavericks. I have shared a list in Reminders with someone, and have put in a lot of effort to make sure the list is in a specific order. Just now she opened the list up on her iOS9 phone and the order is completely scrambled. She also checked the list on her Mavericks machine and it's in a completely different, but also scrambled order.

What's going on here? Do shared reminders created on one machine, have no bearing at all on the order of the list on the other party's device(s)? Do the other devices just shuffle the items into a completely random order? Is there any way to ensure that a list I order a specific way on my side, reflects the same order on the other party's side?

EDIT: Apparently this has been an issue at least back to 2012...

Any way to make shared reminders lists be in the same order?
