so, i finally understand a problem i've had for a long time and it's not exclusive to 14.13: when i sync my watch via Garmin Express on the computer, it totally reorders all of my Glances/widgets. annoying but fixable.
what is odd this time is that the order shows up correctly (ie, intact) on the Garmin Connect app on my iPhone in spite of it being re-arranged on my watch. this has not happened on prior firmwares. so now, to actually re-order them, i had to do them natively on the watch.
on a whim, i hard reset the watch, and then, and only then did it actually list the (wrong) order on my GC phone app. (i couldn't get the lists to match when i repeatedly synced my watch with my phone)
