How to sort and organize alerts in Notification Center on iPhone and iPad

The whole point of Notification Center is to make it easier to view alerts and stay up to date on the tasks that matter the most to you. By default, Notification Center will add app alerts in the order in which the app was installed. You can take control of notification handling on your iPhone or iPad, however, and organizing alerts and notifications in a way that makes the most sense to you.

Notification Center shows alerts in the order in which they're listed in the Settings apps. Change the order in Settings, and your Notification Center shade will update to reflect that new order.

  4. iPhone notification center main screen
  5. Tap Manually under Sort Apps to make sure it's selected.
  6. Tap the Edit button in the upper right hand corner.
  7. iPhone notification center edit mode
  8. Grab the **handle* beside the app you want raise or lower in the Notification Center list and drag it to the position you want it.
  9. iPhone Notification Center drag alerts
  10. Keep dragging apps higher or lower until all the apps are in exactly the order you want them to appear in Notification Center
  11. Tap Done in the upper right hand corner when you're finished.

That's it, Notification Center will now show notifications in your preferred order.
