CUSTOM sort in LR mobile

I find the default sort in LR Mobile to Capture Date VERY annoying. It should be obvious that if a photographer in Classic has taken the trouble to re-sort a Collection to CUSTOM, then this is what is required also when syncing to LR Mobile. In other words, whatever sort selection has been chosen by the photographer in Classic should be reflected automatically when synced to LR Mobile. But particularly CUSTOM!

This is even more annoying when I re-sort on the MacOS desktop LRCC to CUSTOM and then find it is still defaulting to Capture Date on my iPad and iPhone. Is this so hard to fix?

I so agree with you and it still doesn't seem to have been implemented. Have you discovered a solution?

Mind you: Custom sort exists in Lightroom Mobile too. When in a grid view, tap on the three dots and then on 'Sort by Capture Date'. You will get to a screen where you can change the sort order to several things, including Custom. It just does not sync from Lightroom Classic.
