Custom Sort option for Liked Songs

In liked songs, albums are listed alphabetically. I despise this. I've always known albums by chronology and that's how they are sorted in the artist page. I have recently been re-annoyed by this listening to my chemical romance as they released five 2 track "singles" listed as "number one- five" in spelled out letters. So they are in the wrong order in my liked songs. 

I often like listening to albums in order on long journeys etc and it's ridiculous that there isn't a way to sort or filter within liked songs for an artist.

I lost the order to my songs in Spotify and I feel devastated cause each era of my life I was listening to specific songs, and now Without meaning to I disorganized all the songs..I would love a feature that put all the songs in order from the latest to the older, or smth like that

That will be really nice because it will be so much better and it will be nice and organized. 👍🏻👌🏼

Come on guys. We desperately need this feature. I mean it can do no wrong to anybody. If u want to use it you can, if you don’t, you just don’t. No harm, not affecting user experience just in a better way.

So guys consider this feature as soon as possible.

I want to go through my 1000+ liked songs but in  the order that I added them (From oldest). This works perfectly on my PC when using the Desktop app (Songs are also helpfully numbered) but does this feature is not available on iPhone. This also extends to playlists where the sorting options are different compared to Liked Songs - this sorting is also limited. Custom order is a great addition but sorting on Desktop is much better.

Being able to move songs within a playlist lets users organize their music to match their mood and enjoy a smoother listening experience without constantly skipping tracks. Right now, if I want to reorganize a playlist, I have to create a new one and manually re-add each song in the order I want, which is inconvenient when a simple feature to change a song’s position within the playlist would solve the issue.

I have the Liked Songs folder where all my favorite music and songs are saved. However, I am not able to move a group of saved music pieces and songs to the beginning of the list so that I can always play them first. 

 

The improvement I recommend is to allow us to move a saved music piece or song, in Liked Songs folder, by simply clicking it, holding on it using the mouse, and dragging or sliding it to the beginning of the list or any place in the list.

I don't understand why Spotify does not enable such a simple functionality! The "Liked songs" within an artist are just another playlist. Why does it have less functionality, namely no custom sort? I can imagine that they make decisions based on profitability, but how is this affecting anything? And it's so easy to implement.

 

Any playlist I ever make of an artist, I always sort their music chronologically. (Let's not mention that very often remastered albums appear at the year of remastering and not the original one, so you really need custom sort to do it manually...) Someone else may prefer some other sorting, such as from the *most* liked song to their simply liked.

Sometimes I wonder if Spotify managers are music lovers themselves. How is this not irritating to anyone of them?
