'recently added' sort option

i've always used the 'recently added' option for sorting my library, and the new 'recent' (as in recently played) is super confusing for me. why was 'recently added' removed and is there any chance we'll get it back?

Hey @mayonnaise68,

Thanks for posting in the Community.

Could you share a screenshot of how the search options look on your end together with the Spotify app version you've installed on your phone?

Keep us posted,

Cheers!

Hey @mayonnaise68,

Thanks for the screenshots.

Have you tried the search options of a different Spotify account on your device? It is possible, that the lack of the desired search option is a test. Let's see how a different account behaves.

Keep us posted,

Cheers!

Hey @mayonnaise68,

Thanks for the reply.

It is currently not possible to manually add this option to your account, but you can contact our customer support team. They'll help you transfer the contents of your current account to a new one. Here is how to do that.

Hope this helps,
