Alphabetical Sorting Not Displaying Correctly on Mobile

My Question or Issue:

In the mobile app, the Alphabetical sorting display appears to be bugged. When playing the playlist, the songs play in the correct order but the display does not sort correctly.

When I look at the same playlist in the desktop version, the sorting displays and responds as expected. I have done all of the usual workarounds of disabling settings, clearing cache, and uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Hey @Shadowkaras, welcome to the Spotify Community! 🎵

I'd suggest a few things:

Check a different playlist. See if the sorting by title shows different order in both the mobile and desktop apps.
Confirm that the sorting option is applied to the playlist on the mobile app. You can check out this guide and share a screenhot of the selected sorting order as well.

Let me know how it goes. 🙂

I have seen this behavior in other Playlist as well.
