How do I stop Alexa from shuffling my Spotify playlists?

I have three Alexa devices. An original Echo, Dot Gen2, and a Sonos One. I haven't had issues before, but since this morning when I ask to play my Spotify playlists, the echo automatically shuffles my playlists. Before, it would just play my music in order, but now it just shuffles every time. Even if I turn shuffle off either by voice or with the app, and say "Alexa, play My Rotation playlist" it still responds by shuffling the music. I tried on all three devices and same result. I even unlinked my Spotify account and re-linked it but that didn't change anything except now Alexa won't recognize my playlists at all. I think it just needs time to resync.

Hi there, WutDaFunk. Thanks for posting and welcome to the Community. Does this only happen when you initiate playback from Alexa or does this also happen when you initiate playback from Sonos? Thanks for clarifying!It was with Alexa but the problem seemed to have fixed itself! I didn't know how to delete this post, sorry.
