Problem with the iOS app

dc571053 — Thu, 02 Jul 2015 15:20:29 GMT

Hi there:
I have a problem that may seem trivial at first but after some thought seems decidedly more problematic. It concerns the ordering of the albums in the iOS app. Until a few days ago, albums were listed in alphabetical order by band name. This works out fine for glancing at all of an artists very quickly. A few days ago everything changed. The albums now have no order. They are in what might be charitbly called 'casual' order. WTF? This may not seem to be an important issue, but finding an album has become a detracting factor to the enjoyment of Spotify. Finding an album has made Spotify less fun and enjoyable to me tan it was before this ridiculous change. I know people are less inclined to use album searches as a personal programming technique, but to me this is still central in making decisions about what to listen to. Please correct this. Surely some of your staff has noticed this issue. Thanks for your help.
Thanks,
David Callahan

I've got exactly the same problem, its annoying as hell and pretty much unusable really. Unless its changed back I couldn't use the app like this. I have loads of albums and its easy to use as it was, it makes no sense now and we need a response to this from someone. Deleting the app and downloading doesn't change it either.

No we did not. And it's pissing me off.

Yeah, this annoys me as well. The artists are still loosely ordered by the first letter, so all albums by bands that start with an A are still in the beginning, but are otherwise not in alphabetical order. Albums by the same artist or band aren't even next to each other. Surely this must be a pretty easy fix, so please fix it!
