Sort playlist by date added

Hi pals,

is there an option to sort a playlist “upside down” meaning that the songs least added to a spotify playlist will be at the top?

I recently found this feature in the spotify app itself but did not see any equivalent in the SONOS app.

As my “Star rated” playlist on spotify contains roughly 1000 songs it would be handy to get faster to the tracks I recently added.

Thank you in advance!

Chris

    Hi Chris, there isn’t an option to control the sort of the display for playlists within Sonos, but I’ll pass along the request for you to the team. They love hearing what people are looking for, but can’t always promise to be able to change things.

    Yep, but I’m suggesting they should add the ‘reverse’ option to the Sonos queue.  So, for example, you could populate the Sonos queue from the Spotify Songs list, and then reverse it there.

      Hmm that’s a reasonable idea.

      Sonos have never attempted to sort third party content anyway, for so many reasons

       

      I can literally not think of a single reason other than “can’t be bothered” why I shouldn’t be able to sort playlists by first letter. And yet, here we are.

      Looking at the comments on the thread, it is either that the task is incredibly complicated (unlike the Java sort facility) or else they’ve got no interest in assisting. After the hoo-hah of system bricking I decided that Sonos has no idea of what their customers want. This reinforces that feeling.

      It’s a shame that we’ve invested so heavily in Sonos, as the alternatives don’t quite do the job, but offer better support...
