(Migrated from github.com)

I have 3 iOS/iPadOS devices with OrganicMaps installed. Each of them has a rather large number of bookmark lists which until now I kept more or less in synch manually so I'm very happy to see that you have started adding a synchronization via iCloud.
I've turned on the iCloud feature on all 3 devices which is now causing me some problems

at first it looks like separate files were created in the iCloud folder for each device and list (not unexpected)
it would have been nice to have a feature to merge lists with the same name and de-duplicate the entries (select which ones to process)
I'm now trying to cleanup manually but I'm failing as when I delete a list on one device or in the iCloud folder and start the app on one of the other devices, the list/file comes back so all cleanup is lost
it would be nice in a future release to have a cleanup feature
it would also help if there was a way to put the app into a mode that would allow cleanup on one device and prevent the other ones to destroy the cleanup work when the app gets started on them
when trying to do the cleanup I struggled with the situation that the list in the app cannot be sorted, it would also be a nice feature to have the ability to sort the lists e.g., by name
