How to View Someone’s “Following” List In Order

Instagram stopped showing follows in chronological order a while ago. But if you want to see who someone followed first — or who they followed most recently — you still have options.

Instagram Following Order Guide

What Changed on Instagram?

Instagram’s “Following” tab no longer displays in time-based order. Instead, it’s sorted by relationship relevance or interaction frequency — and it’s often different depending on who’s viewing.

That means you can’t tell if someone followed an account yesterday, last month, or last year — unless you use a tool that restores chronological view.

Can You Sort Someone’s Following List by Date?

Not on Instagram directly. But with GhostPeek, you can see follows sorted by the actual follow date.

GhostPeek allows you to:

  • Check who someone just followed
  • View their follow history in order
  • Compare current and previous “Following” lists to track changes

How to Use GhostPeek to Sort a Following List

  1. Go to GhostPeek.io
  2. Enter the public Instagram username
  3. View their current “Following” list — sorted from newest to oldest

It’s that easy. No login, no tracking, no app installs.

Want to Monitor Changes Over Time?

If you’re keeping tabs on someone’s digital behavior, GhostPeek Pro gives you automated follow tracking.

You’ll get:

  • Daily snapshots of who they followed
  • Unfollow alerts
  • Time-stamped logs you can review anytime

Why View a “Following” List In Order?

Knowing the order someone followed others can reveal:

  • New romantic or business connections
  • Shifts in social focus or networking
  • Brand collaborations or strategic follows

Whether it’s for personal insight or professional tracking, the order does matter.

Reminder: It Only Works on Public Accounts

GhostPeek can’t access private accounts. If someone has restricted their visibility, their following list remains locked to tools — just like on Instagram.

Final Take: Clarity Without Logging In

Instagram’s default view is confusing on purpose. GhostPeek fixes that with real order, real time, and no fuss.
