[Playlists] Sort List of Playlists alphabetically

[Olcique]

How about ordering playlists alphabetically? I'm paying for this service and this feature is the most common and easiest one even for a free music player...

[DawnBuzzard]

Agreed. For paying £9.99/mo which is equivalent to around $15 US, I would have thought that we could get more advanced features, although this to me seems like a simple "no brainer"

I use Spotify with 3 OS-types: iOS (iPad Air), Android (Smartphone and Samsung Tablet) an wit my Windows PC.

All plattforms, especially iOs and Android, offer different surfaces with different ways of sorting playlists. Why must the Spotify app even behave different on moblie devices? Why are both apps handling sorting options in a different way?

[mariposaviajera]

a mi me sucede lo mismo quiero ordenar mis playlits por orden alfabetico y no hay manera ni en el ordenador ni en el android incluso siguiendo los pasos de "ayuda" cuando pincho en "ordenar por" no funciona. También seria una buena idea que ya que pagamos por Premium pudieramos escuchar la música sin tener que descargarla previamente ya que esto ocupa demasiado espacio. Gracias

Please add this feature! Love that I can do it on my iOS devices!

Why wouldn't this be added to the desktop version too?

Furthermore, why is the sort on iOS just like a temporary fix?

Why not just make this sort them in this order on all devices when activated on one?

Hope it gets added soon, such a highly demanded and basic feature.

looks like the idea of Alphabetizing our Playslists has over 2K votes from what I see here. Although I am not able to Up-Vote it here for some strange reasonon, but please know I want this! Please do it!!!

I have been chasing this request for a few years and have been in contact with the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of Spotify. below is the lastest with my response!

Hi Oskar, Your response was not as expected! No indication of positive or negative action. Who do I have to speak to next? The CEO? This has gone on for over 4 years!

Ian Clark <ian.o.clark@ntlworld.com>: Hi Oskar, I have taken the time to wait from September and we now approach December – Nothing has happened!!!! It looks like the “The correct person” has ignored the request and subject!! Not even a response to say No, when or what ever!!!! Take a look at the thread and you will see some very, very disgruntled international Spotify premium members. One very dissatisfied premium member. Ian Clark

However, one cannot sort playlists on the desktop version!! [All Platforms] Alphabetical playlist sorting options showing submission 2 October 2015 – Under consideration!! I know I submitted this same request/idea in 2012 / 13. Having been 3 to 4 years under consideration!!! And paid £10 a month I find it difficult to understand why? I am seeing signs of deep frustration with Spotify by some 2,000 + Spotify users on this topic. We are all mystified why we cannot do an alpha sort of our playlists. So fundamental!! Would you be so kind and investigate and action the request on Spotify? Respectful & Sincerely Ian Clark (Spotify user:- Sbroth)

Getting ready to pull out of Spotify. So sad that the alphabet is so hard
to conquer. When a company gets large it turns into an unresponsive beast.
I get better response from the US Postal Service and that is really sad.
Peace, and carry on the fight! I have to go so I can spend my time looking
for my Dire Straits playlist.

I can't stress enough how convinient it would be to sort my playlists alphabetically. In fact I really don't understand why such a basic -- and vital -- function never occurred to those writing the code.  If they could do it in 180 BC with the Library of Alexandria, it most certainly can be accomplished with a few keystokes. 

I'll continue to use Spotify, but a paid subscription wouldn't ever be a considertion without this simple function. Thanks.

I listen to classical and jazz and pick albums by composer name or performer. They end up listed in alphabetical order by first name, not by last. If I look for Gustav Mahler it's under G not M. Same way with Stan Kenton- S instead of K. How do I fix this?

[dancastle]

Please do this! I spend so much time trying to find the playlist I have in mind for a song.
