iOS Homepage Shortcut Control and Efficiency

I appreciate the control Firefox iOS gives the user over the Homepage. However, it could be even better.

Namely, it would be great if the app gave users the ability to arrange pinned shortcuts in the order they want via drag and drop. Pinning and unpinning in a sequence to achieve the desired order is tedious. For example, if I wanted to add a new shortcut and have it appear as the eighth item in four rows of shortcuts, placing it in that location would take some thought and possibly a few minutes, when a drag and drop feature would take mere seconds.

Alternatively, bookmarks could replace shortcuts entirely if Firefox allowed the user's bookmark order to display on the Homepage instead of displaying recently created bookmarks first. Personally, I have never wanted to see my most recent bookmarks first. Like the shortcuts, I always want bookmarks organized in the order I dictate.

I know this is a feature request in a support forum, so perhaps it is misplaced. But if either of the features are already possible and I simply missed a setting or two in the app, I'd love to hear it.
