HOW DO I LIST MY ARTISTS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER????

[Durness]

Hello 

I can no longer view the lists of my followed artists in Alphabetical Order??   this is extremely frustrating because I go to great effort to create a music library for myself..

When I want to look up an album to listen to really quickly it is much better when the artists are organized alphabetically!!

Spotify used to do this automatically, but it seems it is no longer does??  How do I switch it back?  I have read through blogs about this.. the filters option "Organize by artist" does not work as a fix, and it appears as though I am not the only person who finds this frustrating!!    PLEASE HELP!

Hi @Durness, 

Thank you for reaching out here in the Community!

To sort your artists on mobile:

1. Go to Your Library and tap Artists.
2. Pull down and release to display Filters in the top-right corner. Tap it.
3. Tap your preferred sorting option.

On desktop:

1. Go to Artist tab in Your Library (left column)
2. Choose a Sorted by option from the dropdown menu and click Name to sort alphabetically. 

For more details on the Sort and Filter function, check this support article. 

I hope you'll find this helpful!

Hi,

On my Nvidia Shield, artists appear in an unchangeable order and that order seems to make no sense: it's not alphabetical, not by order of popularity, not in the order in which I Added them. And the longer the list is, the harder it is to retrieve a particular artist in it. There is no way to sort them, by any criterion.

Hello @Serial_Watcher, 

Thank you for your response!

Currently it's not possible to sort artists on Nvidia Shield. 

You're always welcome to post an Idea in the right area of the Spotify Community. Here you can read how to do it.

Have a great day!

I'm on the new updated library on my iPhone.
When I select artists in in My Library all I see are the most recently played. Perhaps it's because I don't appear to have anything to pull down and release to display Filters in the top-right corner. All I have to right is a Magnifying glass and a + symbol. On the bottom there's an Add Artist option.
What I want to see are all the ablums in my Library and sort them byArtist

Hello @Daidin and thanks for the question!

To sort your liked albums in the new Your Library make sure to choose the Albums filter, then tap the arrows  (right below the content filters) and choose the order.

Not possible on shield.  Not possible on fire tv.  Not possible on web app.  How is it possible to screw up something so basic across so many platforms (but also not across all platforms)???

There is no way to organize artists in alphabetical order in consoles. I wanted to use my Xbox Series X console to listen to Spotify. But, can't put the artists in alphabetical order. Pretty fundamental mistake there. They should just remove Spotify apps from all the platforms where it is not possible to oeganize the followed artists. Because that is a major mistake and means the app is fundamentally broken. Very disappointed.

I agree with you, I have been looking for hours for such a BASIC feature... It's incomprehensible that you haven't thought of this Spotify. The user experience, it speaks to you? ^^

Probably has less to do with them forgetting, and more to do with them wanting you to install the desktop app, so they can sell your data.

I know this post is a bit old now but I spent a long time this morning trying to find out how to sort a 200+ track playlist by the artist. 

On the Android app at least, when you open a playlist you are greeted by the thumbnail at the very top, the tracks below. 

If you swipe down just a little, you show a search bar and a sort function at the top! See attachments
