Dear Sonos,
The previous UI was great; it was intuitive, quick & EZ to control. The latest one (introduced in fall of 2017) is annoying and inconvenient. It is especially hard to control which zones you want on and off, and even after over months of daily use we still find ourselves in loops of going back and forth to the wrong screen to try and figure out how to achieve this. Much like the introduction of new Coke, this new structure to the UI is the *answer to the question that nobody asked*, and the head 'architect' behind this upgrade should be fired.

I just want my favorites back. "My Sonos" forces an alphabetical organization for my playlists, so to play my favorite morning playlist now takes 3 taps, a swipe, and 2 more taps because it's buried so far down! Totally crappy.

Would also be a great to give us a way to order by "recently added" for albums and playlists, etc.

Your favourites are still there on the "My Sonos" screen. Except for your favourite Sonos playlists, which get mixed in to the "My Sonos playlists" list of "all your Sonos playlists regardless of whether they're a favourite". Oh, and favourite Sonos playlists tend to get listed twice. At least you can probably game the alphabetical listing by adding magic characters to the names of actual favourites. Or just be brutal and clean out unused playlists to shorten the list and work around the unfinished "My Sonos" UI...
