Has anyone noticed that FM stations under "All Stations" are out of order?

It seems odd that the stations wouldn't be in numerical order...

I´ve actually never understood how they are ordered and why they move the way they do.

It was much easier in Germany, do I want Bayern 1, Bayern 2, Bayern 3, or Bayern 4.

I agree that the ordering seems to be a mystery. I do know that if you turn RDS off then they fall into order.

I think I remember reading in the manual that radio stations order show up based on the signal strength. So the order will change based on location.

Heyyyyyy, what are you saying!!!!

The radio stations are alphabetic ordered and you have 4 lines of text. To put more radios in the same screen BMW was a great idea, is put the 1st Radio in the 1st position of the 1st line, the 2nd Radio in the 2nd position of the 2nd line........ if you order the radios in the same line you loose space

Yeah, the ordering looks alphabetical to me if you read down and across, which is how the dial selects things. Makes perfect sense....
