Problem:
Currently it's not possible to decide how Albums (and other lists) are sorted in Spotify's Carplay App. This is not convenient, because especially for Albums the users usually do not know the Album's title but rather the Artist's title. It would be much better to sort by Artist.

As carplay (and Apple Watch app) just act as a remote to the music on the phone, surely its simply sort playlists as per the phone. Would not make navigating carplay more cumbersome.
