How to control friend list that appears on your timeline on facebook? - Noli - 11-19-2013 05:23 PM
On
your timeline, on the left hand side, where a few of your friends
appear in a box? How does facebook choose those friends? And how can you
change the friends in it? There's a boy I sometimes talk to and like, and most of the
time I just look at his timeline. All my other friends change, but
facebook won't remove him from that box!

You can't choose the friends that you want to show up. I'm guessing it shows mainly people who you interact with the most. It will look different to other people if they happen to view your profile though.
You could make the friends section privacy 'only me' if you don't want others to see your friends besides mutual friends.

You can't control it.... I think FB choose what profile pic shown there by the frequency you're dealing with that person, including viewing their timeline, FB think it's then make you easier to click on that person. So try not to do that; but if you really want to see him, put him in Close Friend (only you who know this), so next time you want to see what he's doing, just click Close Friend (that is under FRIENDS category in your Newsfeed).
Good luck.

those are just the people that facebook predicts you will want to interact with in the future, and the list is different when other people look at it
