Playlist sort on iPhone

Solved!

Playlist sort on iPhone

Hello,
First I want to say hi to everyone on the community:)
So after latest update my playlist starred turned upside down. And now it starts by oldest song and ends by newest.
It's really annoying. Now when I play music in my car I need to go backwards to turn next song on my playlist:/
Thanks for help

This is because the starred playlist used to show the newly added songs at the top.

 

Spotify has converted all starred playlists into regular playlists to give users more control over it, so the most recently added songs will now be at the bottom like regular playlists.

 

To show the newly added tracks at the top,

 

When you are in a playlist scroll up the the top and tap on this and then select "Recently Added"

Exactly this! Just wanted to make a post on this matter, you were ahead haha.

 

I usually post random songs I like in my favorites, and now I need to scroll through 500 songs to get to the bottom (newest songs) to play recent songs I've liked. Trust me when I say that this is a difficult task to do on an iPhone 4s...

Anyone from Spotify team ?
I love Spotify but this is more than annoying.

I also find this extremely enjoying. I'm always more interested in listening to my latest favorites than the oldest. Unless there's a way to listen to playlists backwards, please come up with a fix.
Actually I've often wondered these years why there is no easy way to sort lists in reversed, artist, album in alphabetical order on the phone.

Ah, Thanx!! 😄
It was quite hidden though. Makes me wonder how long it has been there. 😳

The option to sort a playlist was just recently added in version 3.4 a few months ago.

Ah. Thanx!

You spastic, all you have to do is click on the clipboard icon at the top next to the word " album" and that fixes it. Why are you making it so difficult.

It doesn't work .. btw .. how is it giving you more control over the playlist .. they just can't leave it alone ..
