How friends are added to your smart lists on Facebook
Smart lists are automatically created and stay up-to-date based on profile information you and your friends have in common (ex: work, school, family, city). Smart lists use the information you’ve added to the Education and Work and Current City sections of your profile. See: How to Add Friends to your Close Friends list on Facebook
A typical example is if you list San Francisco as your current city, you’ll have a list with all of your friends who also list San Francisco as their current city. Smart lists update for you based on what your friends put on their profiles. However, you can edit your smart list on Facebook.
