[Your Library] Order/sort albums by release date/year

[Suikkari]

Now that the original release year should be available please add an option to the new album view to use it for sorting.

there could be options for at least:

"SORTED BY ARTIST / YEAR"

"SORTED BY ARTIST / TITLE"

"SORTED BY YEAR"

There could be some kind of subtle separator where the artist changes when listing the album covers. Also the release year should be shown in the album images.

wrt Roon :  I am not going to pay ANOTHER subscription to a music service just so that I can get some basic functionality right.

I am busy jumping back into Apple as on balance of it I would rather have decent Library Management (of which ordering Albums by release date is a basic no-brainer) than all the other fancy bits and pieces of Spotify.

Spotify, it is utterly PATHETIC that you have not rolled out this simple feature.

I have logged a new request seeing that I have no idea how to get this on Spotify's radar seeing that it has been marked as "Not right Now" since 2018, and SO many trivial updates have been made since then.

**bleep** yeah, let’s make some noise everyone… I am so over this feature not being available. So basic and we have waited so long. It is absolutely ridiculous.

[PooyaMan]

Logged in and upvoted. Thanks. Anyone else listening please do the same!

It's kind of insane that this still hasn't been implemented. This was a feature in the original iTunes over 20 years ago.

I don't understand how an application can't contain this.

This is a must have feature.  I have left Spotify many times and come back for a month at a time to check-in and see if the UX is any better.  It may actually be worse now than two years ago.

I just cancelled my Spotify Premium membership and switched to Tidal, they sort albums by release date by default.

[henrivdm]

I see the UX has actually got even worse - it is not even a simple thing to see your "Likes" any more.  I have essentially moved to Apple Music, whose library management is just simple and works like it should.  I will try Tidal again too.
