1. A method, comprising:
at a user equipment (UE):
detecting multiple networks during a public land mobile network (PLMN) scan, wherein the multiple networks include a plurality of PLMNs and a plurality of stand-alone non-public networks (SNPNs);
generating a manual network selection list that includes at least i) the plurality of PLMNs or ii) the plurality of SNPNs;
determining a sequence in which entries of the manual network selection list are to be displayed at the UE, wherein networks are ordered within the sequence based on, at least, being previously successfully registered upon by the UE and supported Radio Access Technologies (RATs);
displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a representation of the manual network selection list; and
registering with one of the multiple networks in response to user input.
