Sort playlist by recently added needs a fix

Sort playlist by recently added needs a fix

When sorting a playlist by recently added, and then change to a new playlist and then go back. The app has gone back to default sorting. Need to fix that, so the app remember your settings.

Hmmm,

 

I'll make sure Spotify know about this!

Agreed. It's a huge pain to constantly sort my longer (and most frequently used) playlists by Recently Added so I can listen to the newest songs each time I launch Spotify.

 

It'd be REALLY great if sorting state saved per playlist and persist if the app is closed or another playlist is selected.

I see this is an old topic, has it been addressed? I was going to start a new thread, but decided to search first. There should be a way to make 'Recently Added' the default sort. Thanks!

I echo this. Once I’ve sorted the playlist in the order I’d like it to play in it then never stays in that preferred order/sorting. As soon as you leave to another song or playlist and come back - the sorting is back to default.
