Sorting Artists Alphabeticallly

PaulM222 — Mon, 31 May 2021 15:09:06 GMT

Hi: I follow many artists. However, the only options I'm given in the drop-down menu for filtering or sorting are: "Recently Added" and "Creator". There is NO ability to sort artists alphabetically, an option I've seen mentioned in other responses to posts like mine. Thanks for your help!

Hey @PaulM222, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

Can you let me know the make and model of your device, as well as the current app version? You can check this by going to Settings (gear icon) in the Spotify > Scroll down to About.

Also, can you send me a screenshot of the filter options you’re seeing?

Keep me posted!

Hi Billy-J:

Thanks for getting back to me!
* Device: Windows 10 Laptop
* App Version: 1.1.60.672.g6ad9c215-a
* And the screenshot of the filter options I'm seeing is below. Please note
that the drop-downs for every other "folder" (Playlists/Podcasts/Albums)
includes an option for sorting alphabetically. It's Just the Artists folder
that does not.

Please let me know if you need any additional info from me and thank you
very much for your help!
Paul

Hey @PaulM222,

Thanks for the info.

Could you try sorting artists by Creator?

Let us know if that sorts them alphabetically.

Hi Alex:

Thanks for getting back to me. I can't believe I missed it but sorting by
"Creator" places them in alphabetical order! Thank you!

Hi:

First, you should know that I've been telling friends and others for the
past year that finding and using Spotify was one of THE key factors in
getting me through COVID. Seriously. My thanks to ALL of you!

Second, I work in hospitality and know and appreciate good customer
service. My thanks for getting back to me and for addressing my question so
quickly!

All my best,
Paul
