My Question or Issue

When I sort a podcast by "All Episodes - Oldest" and am listening somewhere halfway down the list, if I close the app and re-enter that podcast library I find it has suddenly begun putting me at the bottom of the list (so the newest episodes are visible, right at the bottom). This behavior change is very unwelcome because now I either have to switch it to "newest" and back to "oldest" to get me back up the top where the oldest episodes are and scroll down, or spend time scrolling madly to get back up to where I was from the bottom.  Can we please fix this behaviour and go back to it remembering where I was on the podcast episode list when I return to it? There should be a way you can bring the UI back to the exact episode you are playing/were playing. I'm aware there is a recently played view but that is useless because if you use it to start playing the episode you were on, once it ends it just plays whatever it feels like instead of the next episode.

Hi Novy

I'm actually trying to report a UI bug rather than submitting general feedback or requesting a feature.  Is this the correct forum to do that, or should I submit this somewhere else?

Cheers
