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.
