It was first reportet 9 (nine!) years ago, and I found another topic that was about a year old.

NOTHING has happend. It seems to me to be a rather simple thing to correct; ORDER BY <something> - there must be some kind of ordering since the order of the artists is the data/time they were put on the list. Else the order would be random each time you open the list in Sonos, and it’s not.

WHEN wil this issue be solved? It’s soooo annoying.

Just do it!

Hi ​@JeMic, welcome to the Sonos Community!

I’m sorry to hear that the app isn’t displaying content in the way you’d want it to.

This is the way TIDAL have chosen to display their content in the Sonos app and is not an issue or error in the app. Each music service that are on Sonos are responsible for their own implementation using SMAPI (Sonos Music API). While we’ve provided the framework, it is up the music service on what content they send over, and how that content is displayed.

I would recommend raising this to TIDAL directly, requesting this as a feature or change they implement.
