Hi smithmrk,
i think the users are displayed in the order of their entries in the "User Information List" of your site collection (see https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite/_catalogs/users/simple.aspx).
(Person fields are just references to that list and for multi person field SharePoint seems to resolve the information from that list in that order)
I would create three separate one-person fields:- First Approver
- Second Approver
- Third Approver
Best Regards,
Sven
