How do I sort Pandora alphabetically?
Userlevel 3
I just ran the most recent update of the controller on Mac (version 8.2, build 39247040). I notice that Pandora created a new subfolder of "My Stations" and inside of that, my stations are sorted by date most recently played. I'm sure that was requested by some users, but is of no use at all to me. I want to browse channels alphabetically as it has been. Is that a preference I can change or is this the new sort order we all have to use now?

I e-mailed Sonos about this a couple months and still haven’t heard anything don’t know what their problem is

Adding another reply here to make it clear this functionality should be fixed. A user wants to be able to look up the station they want to play, not based on most recently played. Please fix, thanks.
Although more money, guess I'm gonna have to step on over to Spotify or Apple Music
Dear Sonos, advising your customers to call someone else when the problem they are having is exhibited through your software might not be the best play here. It's your GUI we're using, not Pandora. (Or at least it appears to be, it's got your name on it.) You really ought to own this. It could be an opportunity for you. A lot of people could be very happy. Just let your software guys do what they love to do...show the other guy whose really in charge.
Totally agree. When every other Pandora streaming platform offers Alpha station listing, and Sonos does not, this is a Sonos problem. As a result, I will not cancel Pandora since it does Alpha everywhere BUT Sonos, I will cancel Sonos.
Was frustrated with my Sonos Pandora listing and found this forum. Adding my voice. The alpha listing for Pandora stations is a must have. Very frustrated to have to manually go through the list to find the stations I want. Please fix this and add an option to sort stations in alphabetical order.
I called SONOS and the rep acted as if he didn't understand what I was talking about in sorting Pandora stations... Then in the end he said we don't offer that feature any longer. Wow i'm shocked that they aren't willing to only improve the experience as opposed to limit features.

Hi Jeff, that's odd. The person you spoke with should have known what you meant by the sorting of Pandora stations. I'll follow up on that internally. He is correct that it's not a feature that's available. You can't edit the sorting of the Pandora listing within Sonos. It used to be alphabetical but was changed to most recently played with an overhaul of the Pandora on Sonos integration. I'll make sure your request for either an option of sorting or a reversion to the old format gets passed to the right team. If you haven't yet, it'd also be good to let Pandora know that you're looking for this too.

Thanks for the help and agree letting Pandora know might help. This is a really surprising deficiency to anyone that uses Pandora regularly ...

I let Pandora know for the last 3 months several times. Cancelled my Pandora last month when it came up for renewal. They didn't seem to care.
yes I agree! this feature is desperately needed!
Agree -- this is INSANE. We have a billion "stations". Now I have to scroll through all of them, to find what I want? Are you kidding me? Seriously nuts. Surely you guys are switching this back... Spotify, here ya go...
Another +1 to being able to sort Pandora stations alphabetically - it is maddening to find a particular station if you have many. I get this may be a Pandora dependency but I suspect they'll listen to Sonos asking for it as a feature.
I believe this is a Sono issue. I am able to sort my Pandora Stations on my Pandora app, but NOT able to sort my list of Pandora Stations through my Sonos app. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!
The music comes from Pandora, The data for your station list comes from Pandora. Its a Pandora issue and they don't care. I have cancelled my subscription, I would recommend others do the same or at least contact them so hopefully they fix it.

Any update on doing this?

See many earlier responses regarding sorting on Spotify and Pandora. It is up to those services to provide the sorting (and better default sorting for that matter), for reasons explained many, many times.
