The system continually defaults to the bedroom which is the room I use the least. I always have to switch it back to living room before I can listen in the living room. How can I fix it so that it does not default to the bedroom? Do I always have to Go and choose the room I want to listen to even though I want it to default to the living room or whichever room I was using last?

The rooms are shown in alphabetical or numerical order. You can change the room names to reflect your use case, i.e call the living room 1 Living room and the bedroom 2 Bed room. See Change a product's room name | Sonos

For me on Android only some screens sort properly, the home screen rearranges in odd ways I have not really figured out.

Most frustrating as it is really easy to blast an innocent bystander in another room. Even more fun, while trying to get your Room selected it is far too easy to run the volume slider on a different rooom up to the max.
