Discography in Chronological Order

Spotify provides a great Discography option, but it is sorted from newest to oldest.  I would typically want to listen to the Discography in the order it was released.  Seems like a simple addition to enable sorting the Discography by release date with oldest first (or toggle to newest first).

 

Is there already a way to do this that I'm missing?

Updated on 2025-04-04

Hey folks,

 

Happy to share with you that this is now implemented on desktop devices and the Web Player! 
You can now sort artist discographies in chronological order 🙂

Cheers & many thanks for adding your support to this Idea. All the best!

Changed back to "new idea" status - once this idea reaches 100+ kudos (kudo requirements have been changed) the Spotify staff will review it again and decide on a new status. ~ Peter

This would really be a great add to Spotify.  One of the best things about Spotify is the ability to follow an artist's discography, but it's kind of a pain because of the way albums are ordered in reverse chronological order.  This seems like a simple way to greatly improve usability.

This would be awesome, especially if you also could filter out "best of" compilations and orchestral remakes and whatnot.

 

Only albums (and perhaps singles), in chronological order. Oldest on top.

So... It's at 52 kudos. How about it? You like our money, right?

It's great idea. It should by available by default.

Please please fix this. In addition to the issue of listening in chronological order, why should a double album have the 2nd disc listed 1st?

Surely there is some avenue for accepting an idea if it is deemed good and useful regardless of how many kudo's it gets?  As a user I would hope that the policy is more statment of 'we promise to look at them once they reach 100, (hence the officially moves into consideration), but just as we might be working on new features regardless of community input if we see an idea we particularly like we are apt to pick it up earlier at our discretionl.  

 

Is there really some opposition that thinks this isn't a good idea?  Not everyone it annoys is goign to bother coming here to post.  I was thinking this thought for the past two months before I finally decided to search and then post or kudo the idea for it.
