Garmin Express on Mac is reordering glances on Fenix 8 Solar

When I plug in my Fenix 8 Solar to my Mac to update software and maps, the glances are reordered. This is frustrating as I regularly use the top three glances.

I understand this is a widely recognised problem, I'm just reporting to add to the pool of data.

    I tried correcting the list of Glances in Garmin Express for Mac before syncing and disconnecting the watch.  This worked temporarily. However, when I reconnected the watch to the Mac the Glances were messed up again in GE MacOS.

    I was expecting GE MacOS to read the Glance configuration from the watch when it is plugged in but it seems that it whilst GE MacOS knows what Glances are installed on the watch it does not save any previous order entered into GE MacOS nor does it recognise the current order on the watch in which they are installed.  The Glances are rearranged by GE MacOS in a specific (predetermined?) way regardless of actions by the user.

    This doesn't seem like it is simple fix but rather it is something more fundamental about GE which might explain why attempts to resolve it have failed.
