Remote control from Mac wont play playlist in reverse order on iPhone

[vareynick]

Hi there,

At work I like to play Spotify from my phone, but I often put it away, and simply control it from the desktop Mac app. All has been fine, but a few days ago (possibly a week), started running in to a very frustrating error. 

I like to play my playlists in reverse chronological order, ie the latest addition to the playlist first. As I am unable to do this from th iPhone (still cant fathom with this isnt possible), so I order the playlist by date added on the Mac Desktop, and play from there. Usually, the playlist then works its way down the list of songs. EASY! However, for some reason, it will no longer do so. It'll play the track at the top of the playlist, then jump to playing the playlist in the normal track order. This is getting very frustrating! If I choose to play from the Desktop version and listen through my Mac, I dont encounter this issue - only when remotely playing from the iPhone. 

Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated!! 

(also, if anyone knows a way to reorder the playlist on the iphone without MANUALLY moving each track, id LOVE to know)!!

Hey @vareynick, can you possibly check your queue to find out if any songs are manually queued up? It sounds like there may be some songs stuck in there which haven't cleared out yet.

Hi there @Swanny, thanks for your comment. So I cleared the queue entirely, but everytime I attempt to play the playlist in the order described, it repopulates the queue with the playlist with it in the right order, and therefore wont play the playlist in the order I wish it to. This only seems to be happening from the Spotify on my work machine - tried remote playing from my laptop, which worked just fine. 

Going to try deleteing the app from my machine and reinstalling it, to see if that works!
