My Question or Issue
In Your Library on iOS, I set the sorting to Custom order, but it always switches back to Recents. On desktop the Custom order stays, but on mobile it resets every time I leave the Library or reopen the app. I want the sorting to stay locked on Custom order. Is there any way to make this persistent, or is it a known limitation?

Hey @user-removed!

Thanks for reaching out.

On iOS, the Custom order option only shows up when you’re viewing your Library with the playlist filter selected. When you close the app, open it again, and come back to the Library, that filter resets automatically, and the sorting goes back to Recents by default.

Because of that reset, the Custom sorting can’t stay locked in place at the moment. If you select the playlist filter again, the Custom option will show up, but it won’t persist after closing the app.

Hope this helps clear things up!
