Why can't I sort songs in playlists on web player or on TV?

My Question or Issue

I've been listening to Spotify on the app and on my phone and tablet, but when I play it on my Xbox, I'm baffled as to why there's no option to sort songs nor can you do it on the web player. Like, why can't we sort songs by title name, artists, etc. instead of the last song added?

Hey @CboyC95,

Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community!

There are different sorting options and functionality across the app on different platforms. So some options are only available on a certain platform.

If you think other users might also like it, go ahead and create an idea on the relevant idea board. We always take new ideas and feedback into consideration to improve the app. Here you can read more on how ideas work.

We also suggest checking this help article for useful tips on how to submit an idea. As a heads-up, it's good to know that the higher the number of votes an idea gets, the more likely it is for the idea to be implemented.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any more questions.

Thats not a good way to run a ui. People are grabbing for their devices to play music expecting a consistent experience. There is no reason not to have sorting on web besides that it hasn't been properly developed. Please add sorting to the web player.

Hey @rileymthewizard,

Thank you for joining the conversation and for your feedback.

A similar idea about having sorting options on the Web Player was posted here some weeks ago. If you want to show your support for it, we'd recommend adding your vote by using the Thumbs-up button. When the idea gets to the required number of votes, it will reach the relevant teams to be taken into account.  

If anything else comes up, the Community will be here for you.
