Consistent podcast sort options plus "oldest first" option

[user-removed]

tl;dr: Make sort options in the Your Episodes screen consistent across platforms and add an "Old to New" sort option.

On Spotify for Windows, the sort options for Your Episodes are Recently Added, Creator, and Alphabetical, yet for Android they're Recently Saved, Release Date and Show Name.

Not only are the options different, the wording is inconsistent, and the one option I actually need is omitted from both, i.e. oldest first, which solves two problems:

Firstly, saved podcasts should be first-in-first-out, so you listen in the order they were published and are catching up, rather than starting on what's new and forgetting about older episodes (potentially until they're no longer relevant).

Secondly, it would fix the Queue when listening to podcasts, so you wouldn't have to manually choose the next podcast when the one you're listening to ends.

Been trying to get this done for over a year. Should be an easy fix, and it's a really obvious problem! They keep closing the old-new sort ideas. I think the way we'll have to do it is bury it in a more popular idea, like how politicians sneak otherwise difficult to pass items into bills that solve major issues. I don't have my finger on the pulse, but something like this might work:.

Have Post malone host a live music podcast owned by spotify, and have Taylor Swift as the first guest. Also/Or allow podcast episodes to be sorted from oldest released to newest released.

I do not understand why Podcasts playlist don't have, didn't default to Oldest first.  Only thing I can think is Spotify is Musicly minded, where it makes sense people want to play newer music first. But I cannot see why anyone wants to listen to podcasts newest to oldest.  

I also cannot understand why I keep seeing people asking, and topics being closed when clearly the moderator is not understanding the difference between a Podcast Episodes list (1 particular producer), and a Podcast Playlist (The user created list).

This is a HUGE deal.
