[Desktop][Playlists] Sort songs by date added on the top of the playlist

When you choose the sort option "date added" on the desktop app the songs show in order from the first song you added in the playlist. It should be an option to reverse that function so the songs last added to the playlist is at the top. It is really annoying to scroll down to bottom to find the last songs you added, and usual its the songs you last added you listen to the most..

Hi @pizzha,

Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community!

Yes, the “Date Added” sort option in the new desktop app defaults to ordering tracks in a playlist from oldest to newest date added. However, you can reverse the track order by clicking on “Date Added” at the top of the column.

If you have the Spotify app minimized, you can expand it until the “Date Added” column appears. Note that you may have to hide Friend Activity by first clicking on this icon at the top-right of the screen:

Then you can select Settings; and under Display, switch See what your friends are playing to “off” (gray).

Let me know if you have any other questions, and have a good day!

Hi @denny_jansson,

Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community, and welcome!

Unfortunately, at the moment it's not possible to sort or filter playlists while using the web player; only the desktop app and mobile app support these features.

However, there's currently a Live Idea for being able to sort playlists on the web player. If it’s something you’re interested in, I’d recommend adding your +VOTE to the idea; the more votes an idea gets, the likelier it is that Spotify will implement it, and you can read more about how feedback on ideas reaches Spotify here.

Feel free to also Subscribe to the idea by clicking the three dots next to its title; that way, you can be sure to be informed of any relevant updates.

Let me know if you have any other questions, and have a good day!
