[Mac] Sorting bugs on Local Files page

[Mac] Sorting bugs on Local Files page

Initially, I thought it was an isolated issue for me, but looks like more people are seeing this over here

What happens is that when you click "Album" or "Artist" on the Local Files page to sort alphabetically based on these parameters, the sorting is completely wrong. Here's a few examples:

Hey, thanks for bringing this to our attention!

 

Can you let us know what operating system and Spotify version you're currently using?

 

We'll see what we can suggest.

Hi! I'm using spotify 1.0.43.123.g80176796 on OS X Sierra 10.12.1

Thanks for that info @Rodrigo

 

Just to check, did you have this issue before? 

Also, does it happen with our catalog songs or only local files? 

 

We'll see what we can suggest. 

Hello!

I only see that problem with local files, and from what I've seen, it looks like it gets worse if the desktop app manages to match songs with ones from the catalog (it matched the songs from the Lemonade album with a bunch of random artists that have nothing to do with it but I think it didn't update the sorting lists, so when you hit the buttons to sort, it follows the order from before changing the metadata with whatever thing it found)

Thanks for letting us know that @Rodrigo!

 

Could you try reinstalling the app by following these steps? This might be able to help you out.

 

Keep us posted.
