Change Order of Tracks in favorite playlist

Hi, 

so I have the native favorite playlist and when I tap the heart the track is being added to it. On my Mac they are all in the right order, but on my iPhone they are exactly the other way around. I tapped on recently added in sort but they’re still in the wrong order. Both my devices are connected to the internet and I am signed in to the correct account but it still doesn’t work. What can I do?

Hi there @MiWo,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Are you referring to the Liked Songs list? If so, that one cannot be sorted in any custom order but if you sort the playlists the same way on both devices, such as by "Date Added" then the order should be the same. If this is not the case, send us some screenshots from both so that we can have a look.

 

Keep us posted.

Hi there @MiWo,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Thought I'd jump in here to add some clarity why this is happening. Currently on the mobile app, you can sort your Liked Songs only one way - from most recent to oldest. On your Desktop you can still sort them the other way around. The same goes for sorting other playlists on your mobile app, where you can see the little arrow indicator of the sorting direction.

 

We know that this inconsistency might cause some inconveniences, and we've passed on your feedback about this to the developer teams at Spotify.

 

Cheers.

Hello, thank you for the clarification. I should maybe deliver some context: So I am trying to switch from Apple Music to Spotify and I want to bring my favorites Songs playlist (wich is just a normal playlist) to the native / standard Liked Songs Playlist. I probably don't need to explain why I don't want to manually mark over 600 songs all individually with a heart and I tried apps like SongPush but there the playlist doesn't shows up. I tried to send them to a new playlist on Spotify and then mark them all and drag them in to the liked songs playlist but then as I said they're showing up in the wrong order. My question now is, is there a way to transfer the playlist so that the songs are in the correct order?

Hey @MiWo,

Thank you for keeping in contact.
 

Unfortunately, we don't have an official way to import playlists from another app, so we cannot make an accurate suggestion. However, a similar idea has been suggested here. If you want to show your support for this feature, you can add your vote by hitting the thumbs-up button. 

 

We'd also recommend taking a look at its status for more info. Any relevant updates about this will be posted there.
 

Hope this clarifies things a bit. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.
