My Question or Issue

So I use the Windows version of Spotify that can be downloaded from the Spotify website, not the Windows Store app. Lately, I've been experiencing issues where the player doesn't play my liked songs in the correct order. I have them organized by artist, A-Z. So, for example, 3 Doors Down would be first, and Zac Brown Band would be last in the alphabetical queue.

Now, normally I like to play my songs in order for a particular artist, but the player no longer lets me do so. Let's say I start playing the first song from Disturbed's Asylum album, Remnants. Instead of playing the second track, Asylum, it'll jump to a random track within that album. Maybe the fifth, maybe the seventh, or so on. Then, once every song from that album has been played once, it'll hop to a completely different album by a different artist, regardless of alphabetical order. So it might go from playing Disturbed, to suddenly playing The Weeknd.

I don't have shuffle play turned on, I have a premium account. And this doesn't seem to be an isolated incident, as I've found multiple other threads in these support forums describing the same issue. I've already tried a clean install by deleting all Spotify related folders from my computer.
