sorting inside playlist on smartTV / Auto app does not keep sort settings on android/iOS/desktop app

[vldbnc]

There is manual workaround mentioned at the end.

Problem:

The default order of the playlist is: old song at the top and new are added at the bottom and this default ordering is present in smarTV / AndroidAuto which does not offer sorting functionality.
Android / iOS / desktop have sorting functionality but it seems just as overlay settings on default ordering that is working only on those apps.

What you can do as Spotify dev:
-- offer ordering functionality on smartTV / Android auto
-- if you re-order playlist in Android / iOS / desktop (sort function) then make it persistent as default playlist setting.
-- offer sorting functionality inside "Edit playlist" option where you can manually rearrange song. Add extra button sort functionality by some criteria. Then you can "Save" playlist and this default setting will be present in smartTV / AndroidAuto app.

Workaround for smartTV / androidAuto app:
1. Sort your songs on android/iOS/desktop app where sorting is supported by your criteria e.g. recently added. This functionality should be present inside playlist view (in android is right-next to "Look for a song").
2. create new playlist (as copy) inside playlist settings (you should be in playlist view). The new playlist will have default ordering that you previously set and it will be visible in smartTV.
3. You need to create new (copy) playlist each time you want to have required ordering. Its stupid I know.
