can you rearrange the order of favourites

the sonos pc app stores your favourites alphabetically - how can you change the order to your own choice?

Hello Tim,

The Favorites listing is only sorted alphabetically. We have an Idea thread open for more management of Favorites which I'll merge this thread over to to add your Support to the Idea.

Cheers.

+1 for rearranging the favorites. Even if they grouped by type would be better then current

Agreed with both of the other guys....Allowing the favorites to be Grouped by the type and then allowing us the option to sort the order within each group would serve a dual purpose of: 1) a more aesthetically pleasing interface, and 2) a more user-functional service.

Help...yes being able to organize favorites by groups (I title the folders) and move the stations etc to my choosing inside would be a major upgrade.

Please add this soon. The random order of the items under my favorites is driving me nuts.

Please add this soon. The random order of the items under my favorites is driving me nuts.

It's not random.

It's listed alphabetically.

What sort order would you like?
- Ascending in order of ASCII number of 1st, 2nd, 3rd letters and so on
- Date of adding
- Sum of the digits
- Random
- Random, change every time app opened

I would also really like to be able to customize the order of my favorites.

What's really needed is quick access to favourites. Like the desktop controller (thankfully still) allows. Sorting (other than a standard alphabetical sort) isn't a big deal when the favourites list is deliberately (and correctly) limited to 32 items. Grouping by category is great, but it's currently of limited usefulness. Currently, I cleared down my favourites list to be 20-odd artists, and my "My Sonos" screen allows access to the following favourites:
1. The first 8 "others" (that's "Artists" in English / Sonos Desktop / every other music app in the universe), with a "see all" button linking to a screen of all my favourite artists - not a big deal, I'm now used to favourites access being an extra click on mobile compared to desktop
2. The first 8 of every Sonos playlist I ever created for any purpose, of which I have flagged exactly zero as favourites

Ironically, if Sonos kept notes of play / activity counts, they could replace a user-curated (plus playlists) screen with a "most popular". But they'd probably insist on making it difficult to have favourite artists/albums and follow a "but everyone listens exclusively to playlists and individual songs these days" design...

When using phone app, stations under My Sonos only show first few, without second step of See All. Need to be able to rearrange station order, so most frequently used appear on first page of phone. Also, would like to add on this phone to my Sonos selections.

Even having them in order of most recently played (like Pandora) would be much more helpful.
