There are two different options for looking at Starred Favorites. You need to use the first one. When you hit the little person icon you have HOME and WORK and then you have both NEARBY SAVED PLACES and SAVED PLACES in two separate lists. The nearby saved places list is sorted by distance from your current location. In fact when I was in Chicago last week it only showed me 3 saved places because the 4th one was near my home - about 350 miles away. It didn't even bother to show me them in the Nearby Saved Places list. Saved Places is sorted by the order you added them.

I identify points of interest months or sometimes even years out. If I'm in Atlanta and trying to remember the name of that restaurant my friend suggested a few months back that I'm pretty sure was within 2 or 3 MARTA stops of Bobby Dodd Stadium, scrolling past 30-40 places in Vancouver, Raleigh and Blacksburg I've marked since I talked to him is inconvenient at best.
