Sorting playlist by artist, alphabetically?

For some reason I also cannot sort by artist and there is no available option to do it any more. Bottom line, Spotify **bleep**ed up....

Hi, @mark4732,

Welcome to the Spotify Community!

What device are you using? Note that changing the sort order inside a playlist is not possible on the Web Player at the moment, so I'd recommend using the standalone app instead. Here's how to sort there:

Desktop

Underneath the playlist title, click on each column heading to change the sort order or use the menu next to the magnifying glass icon on the right.

Mobile

You should see a "Sort" button underneath the playlist title, but if you don't, try swiping sideways and it should show up. In case it doesn't, try swiping down instead to see if it pops up then.

If you need further assistance, feel free to share a screenshot which shows how the playlist page appears on your end so we can take a closer look.

More info on how to search, sort & filter in Spotify can be found in this article.

Cheers 🤘
