My Question or Issue

The latest UI update has totally messed up my playlist cataloguing system. I had a series of folders with playlists and sub folders in it. Now the sub folders have disappeared and the "top" folders are now in complete disarray I have something like 800 individual playlists and its going to take ages to get them into some sort of order. I'm really angry. Why does every spotify update manage to screw something up in the name of improving something else.

Hey @spiritofradio

When I updated to the new desktop design, my list of playlists in the sidebar were left how they were before the update. If that is not the case for you, then this sounds like a weird glitch that happened. I haven't seen any other reports of this.

Also, in the new update there is a new design when you click on "Your Library" that shows a different playlist order there. You can change this order in the dropdown in the top right to "custom order" so that it shows similar to how you have it organized in the left playlist sidebar. Also under "Your Library" playlist folders will not show up there. You will only see playlist folders in the left sidebar playlist list.
