Hey @sani2 

 

It looks like you are seeing a change that Spotify is currently testing in the desktop app.

 

Here's how to get it as close as possible to the old sidebar:

 

In the left "Your Library" sidebar, click on the "Playlists" filter.

 

Then, in the sort drop down select "Custom order". You will then see your previous playlist order and be able to reorganize your playlists (move playlists and folders like before)

 

Your current preference will be remembered each time you start up the Spotify desktop app.

 

If you would like to only see text in the Your Library sidebar, go to the Spotify app Settings ---> Library ---> and select "use compact library".

 

You can also drag the left sidebar to different sizes, as well as fully expand the sidebar by clicking the arrow button, and fully collapse the sidebar by clicking on the "Your Library" heading.

 

Hopefully this info helps!

The new UI is not user friendly. Please revert back, think again, make it right.
