[Playlists] Sorting Options for List of Playlists

Submitted by on ‎2012-02-09 01:04 PM
Status: Implemented

I would love to be able to sort my playlists by Artists, then drill down by album so as not to clutter my Spotify. It's pretty hard to organize my playlists the current way. Any ideas on a future iteration that will enable this capability?

Hey folks,



 

Slight update to this idea, which we think is worth highlighting. With the recent update to Your Library on mobile, it's now possible to sort and filter your Playlists, Artists and Albums in more ways. 

 

To find the filters, just pull down on the tab you're on, select filters and then choose the one you'd like. The 'Custom Order' filter on the Playlist section will mirror the order you have on Desktop - which means it's now possible to maintain the way your organise your tunes on Desktop across to Mobile. 

 

We'd recommend checking out this Spotify Answer for tips on how to add playlist folders using the desktop app. They're super handy for keeping your music organized.

 

With the search function at the top it's also possible to drill down by Artist in your Album section. To do so, just pull down and type the name of the artist you're looking for. 

 

Will now mark this idea as Implemented.

 



Thanks!

@andyrich, you are so right! Yes, it's the best because the 'others' don't get it. Spotify gave us a lot! I love the remote function. Soooo great. But why they are frozen and doing nothing for years now?

today I got so **bleep** again. I choose Rolling Stones because I was riding a Harley to Key West. This Band is known for 1000 Albums or more. It took me 20min just to find the "Bridges to Babylon" Album because they just dont have any usefull Filter implemented!!!  Minimun 500 Live Albums were just in the way!

Really? Is NOBODY , no Spotify Employee, Spotify Manager or Spotify ales... ever using the App for 5 minutes?

I would also like to be able to sort playlists alphabetically by group or date or whateve; why it hasn't got this feature is beyond me.  It is a right pain to create a new playlist, then to have to drag it down the list to align it; especially such as Yngwie Malmsteen.

Hi @match69,

Not sure if you know the feature to sort playlists by swiping down?

 

Then you get this:Screenshot_20190906-070623_Spotify.jpg

Hi Rene01,

                 Thank you for your post but the mobile app automatically sorts playlists alphabetically. If I create a new playlist for mobile it is added correctly. It is on my desktop where it is just added to the top of the playlist, requiring it to be dragged to its correct place. Thanks again.

Mark.

Hi @match69,

Indeed for desktop you are right. 

 

You can submit a new idea to change this if you like.

Folders are great, but would really like to have an option to sort playlists by custom (I made them) vs subscribed (someone else made them).
