My Question or Issue

I've been using Spotify since pretty much the beginning and kept the same playlist around for my tracks. I sort this playlist by "date added" descending to keep the recent songs at the top. However recently there have been songs from the start of the playlist appearing at the top. Either they show with no date added (probably they where added to the playlist before you started tracking this) or they have an incorrect value which is recent. This is messing up my track order ☹️

The playlist URL is https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0rpvTmFJROqypIxYazbwiF?si=CxbL5YHDQg2NpkyNSbm12w

Example tracks that have incorrect values => Clint Eastwood - Gorillaz, Someday - Flipsyde and Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie.

Example tracks that have no value but appear at the top: You give love a bad name - Bon Jovi and Angel - Flipsyde.

Yeah, something strange has happened.
Just like you I've been a subscriber for more than 10 years and have a playlist which I've used/updated since day one.
Now a lot of songs are suddenly displayed as added 15-16 hours ago, even though they've been there for more than a decade.

Same problem. Songs have been readded to my playlist, making them show up at the top on date added, very annoying.

Same thing has happened to me. Incredibly frustrating to see songs I added over 5 years ago appear at the top of my main playlist. They are getting readded or having their date added changed so often it's polluting the music I really want to listen to (what I recently added to the playlist). If this keeps happening it's going to seriously make me consider changing music streaming service.

I will add that my info looks very much like yours.

Same versions of OS: macOS Catalina/iOS14 and located in Sweden using Premium account.

Same for me. As someone that's been using spotify since the beginning, it's ruined most of my playlists.

I've been in contact with the support team and they're aware of the issue, supposedly working on a fix
