My Question or Issue

There is no option to sort podcasts in "Your Episodes" in descending date order (i.e. oldest episodes to newest).

I finally bit the bullet and migrated my podcast collection. Tried a few different options and settled on Pocket Casts, which has excellent sorting options. No playlists, but uses "filters" to sort your library, but I think it's aruguably a better way of doing it. You blew it, Spotify!

It's not a top level menu item but there is an "up next" feature in the filter menu where you can add things from a filter to what is effectively a queue. You can also customize that menu in the "..." cuz by default the option adds items to the top, where there's another one that lets you add it to the bottom

The up next feature itself is a bit finicky (long press plays an item, when in filters it does multi select; it's easy to fat finger reordering), but it's there

And, yes, we're using the Spotify forum to now share best practices for a replacement app

Yeah, I can't get to the vote option (why do we need to vote for something that's obviously not right?) It keeps saying "Access Denied"

EDIT: I FOUND THE RIGHT LINK TO VOTE ON THIS ISSUE:
Your episodes playlist order - The Spotify Community

Your link is broken.

I switched to PocketCasts for my podcasts and I'm really loving it. Would
highly recommend.

I have to agree with the others on here. HOW can this not be a basic feature on one of the biggest platforms???? This has to be implemented for any normal podcast listening. It makes me wonder if anyone at Spotify even listens to podcasts or uses their own app, since any normal listener would want this almost immediately.

This is the bane of my existence. Why have this list you can auto download to if you can only listen newest to oldest. So annoying.

[thistrack]

True, but...

Pocket Casts has terrible implementation on Alexa platform.  It's primitive on Alexa without many commands.  Perhaps, they don't have the resources to focus on Alexa platform?

Pocket Casts for many years was my podcast player, but with the addition of smart speakers, I have found that Spotify has excellent integration among platforms including Android (eg. phones), Alexa and Fire TV!

I've been on them for ages about this. It's pathetic.

They added it and remove it this week, i saw the option, don't know why they remove it

[Duuude3]

I wanted to listen to a podcast on desktop.

There's no option to sort from the oldest.

It's 144 episodes.

App displays 10 by default.

To even get to the oldest one it will take 14 "load more" episodes.

Why won't spotify hire UX designer?

Why none of the spotify emplyes use their own app?

What the actual fu*k?

[whiskeybent]

how is this such an old issue and still not solved? like even when i sort the episodes from oldest to newest then it just switches directions on which way it plays vertically. so frustrating
