Ok, I think might be confusing you, apologies.

First, let me reiterate,

There are only two ways to show the list in the page. The first is with the shortcode (the only supported method), the second is the PHP function that WordPress runs when it finds the shortcode on the page. There is no other way. Connections has no method of automatically adding a list to a page.

You said the page only has one shortcode on it. Then thru some other method the shortcode is being used or a custom theme template page was created which calls PHP function to display the list.

That said,

You ask, “How can I take an existing list (has no shortcode) and reorder it?“. I am simply unable able to tell you how to change the existing list because I have no knowledge of how it the list was inserted on the page if the shortcode was not used.

Whom ever initially created the page will have to let you know how they added the list to the page to the list without using the shortcode. After you have that information and let me know, I will be able to give you exact instructions.

Sorry, but until I have that information I can only guess… my guess is that there is another shortcode inserted on that page somewhere. I suggest looking very closely at every setting on that page to find that shortcode and replace it with the one you want.
