Superuser Contribution Why does Spotify shuffle my podcast queue but not give me a button to turn off the shuffle?

I'm trying to listen to a podcast and it kept trying to play random episodes. I had to play a music playlist, unshuffle it, and then go back to the podcast to get it to play in order. Stop pushing podcasts so much if you can't add basic features.

Superuser Contribution Spotify needs to be connected to WiFi. It's always been connected.

For the first time, Spotify on my desktop appears as a black and gray image, and I am unable to get the regular (green) look back. "Help" tells me to reconnect to WiFi, after clicking & unclicking the "offline" mode. But I cannot get it to work.
