Dynamic repositioning of Vertical Layout Group every frame issue

I'm making an RPG with party members who have accumulating speed scores every frame.
On the UI, I have a bar 'Called TimerList' which is a vertical layout group of 'Timers_Entry' class GameObjects, that are supposed to show the order of players who have the most speed currently, and update this information every frame.
I have managed to reorder the layout dynamically to my specification, but for some reason it will not update the order every frame as I intend. This is my code for a function running in Update() constantly:

     public void updatePositions()
     {        
         TimerList = TimerList.OrderBy(go => go.GetComponent<Timers_Entry>().TimersEntryPlayer.speedTotal).ToList();
 
         for (int i = 0; i < TimerList.Count; i++)
         {
             TimerList[i].transform.SetSiblingIndex(i);
         }        
     }

Any help with this would be much appreciated as it's driving me nuts, thank you :)
