point of symmetry

while I was trying to find a Linear Fractional Transformation from the upper half plane to itself, with 0 mapped to 1 and i mapped to 2i, I used that the point of symmetric of i is -i mapped to -2i which is the point of symmetric for 2i,(using the symmetric principle), so now I have 3 pints mapped to 3 points, and using the cross ratio I found f(z)=2.5 *z +1 ! which is not correct ??
so, where is my mistake ??
can anyone help me ?
Thank you

Probably not, if you don't show what you did. Solving
(z, 0; i, -i) = (f(z), 1; 2i, -2i)
for f(z) should work.

does it matter the order of the points while using the cross ratio ?!!

No, as long as you put the points in the same order as their images. E.g.,
(-i, 0; z, i) = (-2i, 1; f(z); 2i)
would also work, but not
(z, 0; i, -i) = (f(z), 2i; -2i, 1)
