New app just downloaded.   After reading these posts, I guess I'm lucky that the new app didn't brick my Versa 2.    

I just need to know how to change the order of the metrics within the headings such as Activity, Health, Sleep, etc.?  For example, Under Activity, I want Hourly Activity to be first.  How do I move it to that place?

This surrenders all customization to some group of developers who think they know more than the users.    The present is very bad human-factors design.

The items I most want to monitor span different categories, forcing me to scroll up and down to find them instead of having them all in the top screen.

Within a category, the most active items should appear first.  For example, in Activity:
   Readiness score comes first -- a pseudo metric that changes daily.
   Exercise bars -- Again a summary metric
Finally, steps and miles appear far down the list, meaning i have to scroll past junk to get what really matters for tracking exercise.

It's not rocket science to make it possible to rearrange the items within a category!  Any competent programmer can add that feature very quickly.

Hi @jlhughes1 , — Tap the pencil (pen? lol) yo the right of the word “Today” at the top of the screen. Scroll down to Activity and the app allows you to choose what is displayed. Probably the only way to move Hourly Activity to the top of the list is to deselect everything above it. Not the best solution, I know -  😊

Thanks. I want other metrics to show just not in the order they are in the app as it is now. I may try deleting all but the one I want and then add the others in the order I want them. Wish me luck!

It failed. Sigh.   

I did figure out how to move the metrics I wanted to the focus section.   I should have found that before.

IMHO. This is an annoying “feature”. Developers need to broaden the customizations.

No solution for moving the metrics within “activity”, “health” etc.    For the focus section that is the first thing in the app, hit the pencil at the top right.  Then scroll.   The last screen give you the option to choose 4 metrics for the focus section.
