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.

How to fix:

Let user decide to sort lists (e.g. albums) by

- Title

- Artist

- Recently Added
