Ryan, the first question is “If Sonos and Pandora are partners, why in the Hell did you let them ruin your users’ experience?!” It goes to show Sonos doesn’t give a $£I¥! About us. now, after seeing that it really does suck, you sit back and say Bs like “we’re sharing YOUR interest...” which means it definitely is not Sonos’s interest... what a crock

EVEN WORSE.......Sonos has NOT YET replied to any of these posts. WTF is going on? Terrible service on all levels.

Hi Jazzy, you might have missed my post at the beginning of the thread, it's also marked as the answer to the question at the moment. We're making sure to speak with our partners at Pandora about the listing, but currently it's only done by recently played. We'll keep sharing your interest with the teams but don't have any specific news on this changing.

Ryan: I saw your post. Not really helpful though. Same answer different day. It would be very good for Sonos to figure it out somehow!
Upgraded to 8.2 yesterday, and my Pandora stations are suddenly listed by date added, rather than alphabetically. I can see no way to change the sorting method back to alphabetical. This makes it rather inconvenient to browse my stations. If there is a way to re-sort, I would appreciate the tip. If not, it would be helpful for Sonos to make both sort methods available, rather than eliminating one in favor of another.
Agreed. This wasn't well thought out Sonos.

PLEASE bring back alpha sort. Also, my Pandora regularly stops playing after about 5-6 songs! Anyone else? I still cannot believe that Sonos and Pandora are letting this happen with an immediate fix.

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback, we'll make sure to share it with the Pandora team. Also, if you're having trouble with the stream stopping irregularly, it could be related to this issue. Just please note that not all Pandora cutouts are related to this issue, it only affects certain systems, so when it's resolved, if you're still having cutouts, it'd be great to give us a call on our support line.
I can see from the thread that while this is apparently a Pandora issue, it is really a Sonos issue. Sonos has a bit of sway with Pandora as a large account. PLEASE get them to fix this if they want to have Sonos customers!
The alpha listing was so much better than recently played. If you have 100 stations, that's a lot to scroll through to try to find the one you want today.

Well Pandora sort still not alpha in the new update 8.3. Didnt expect a change since it is more of a Pandora issue. Pandora subscription ends in mid Febuary and will not be renewed under the current state.
Please bring back Alphabetical sort of Pandora stations. It really affects my enjoyment of the service.

Just cancelled my subscription to Pandora. They didn't drive me to use their interface, they drove me to try other subscription services!
Pandora is going to lose a lot of business over this. One would think Pandora management would be all over Sonos management until it is fixed, but apparently not.

Pandora sorts alphabetically on every other platform and streaming player except Sonos after the recent Sonos upgrade. It is Sonos that is going to lose business, not Pandora. I will replace Sonos with an alternative that allows Pandora to work correctly.
I have a lot of money invested in the Sonos hardware. It is cheap and easy to switch streaming music services. If it comes down to a choice between ditching Pandora or ditching Sonos, it's bye-bye Pandora. Of course, with all the technical and customer relations bungling from both companies, neither of them may be around much longer.

I started another thread on this same topic, before I saw this one. Agree with all comments. Sonos, please restore a option for alphabetical sorting....

Dear Sonos: Are there any updates to the Alphabetical sorting of Pandora stations? It's really a pain to scroll through all stations. Thank you.
