Two basic questions about iPhone usage

iOS and iPadOS

Hi everyone! I just updated to the latest iOS. I now have two questions that I don't know how to work with, and I'm sure you can help me!
1. I've mistakenly hidden some purchased apps on the App Store on my phone. How do I get them back? Note, my phone is an iPhone SE, and if a PC is needed to sort this out, mine is running iTunes on Windows 10.
2. Can anyone tell me how to rearrange the VoiceOver rotor? I didn't backup my phone so I set it up as a new phone, and now the rotor options are all over the place. Can you teach me how to custom all the items on there? Hint, since I work a lot between English and Chinese, I'd love to have the "Language" and "Characters" options in the most convenient place of operation.
Thanks for your help!
David

Not sure about hiding apps, but here's how to reorder rotor elements.

Go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor. You're presented with a list of elements on the rotor. To the right of each element is a button that lets you reorder them. Select that button, then double tap and hold. Then drag up or down. VoiceOver will tell you that you moved above or below some other element.

Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

Thanks! That description was very helpful! But, I still have a question. In my current setup, the "Language" option is placed in the fifth place, after "Audio Ducking". I want this to be at the last place, before "Characters". But as you know, the rotor options may change in different things. Options that appear in a textfield will not present themselves at the Home screen, if you know what I mean. So how to make sure that I order it just as where I want that option to be?
Thanks again!
