My Question or Issue

When I sort my playlist and start playing it while sorted, it should play in the order displayed. However, it starts playing in the recently added order. In this screenshot it was sorted by artist and it still plays by artist, just not in the displayed order. I have only experienced this issue on my phone, it doesn't happen when playing spotify on my PC.

Hi there @jerry22717,

Thanks for reaching out. We'll be glad to help you get everything playing in the desired order. 

You mentioned this is only on your phone, but when did it start happening? Did it work as expected before? And just to make sure we have our bases covered, consider performing a clean reinstall to fix any damaged cache that may be causing this.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi Joan, I did a clean reinstall and that seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks for the help!

Hello again, it would appear that my earlier message was wrong. I was listening to spotify again and the issue reappeared.

I did some more investigating and the problem seems to be related to my echo dot. I often listen through my echo dot when on my phone and rarely through my phone itself so that's why I thought it was a phone problem. Spotify works fine when just listening on my phone. That's also why I thought it was fixed, I checked it on my phone and not my echo dot.
