I used to be able to sort my Playlist by artist, or alphabetically but all these options have disappeared.  Please help?

    Hi all, I have good news for you. The A-Z sorting feature, which was removed to improve performance, is coming back.
    The team has seen all your feedback on it and decided to bring it back.
    We don't have an exact date yet, but the goal is to bring it back by the end of the week.

    Thanks for your patience :)

    @Leonídia.Deezer Seriously, though? They just removed this basic feature? Why on Earth would they do that? It’s incredibly frustrating not being able to sort my playlists like I used to. Honestly, it’s such a significant inconvenience that I’ve even been considering canceling my subscription today.

    Likewise. I've been back-and-forth wirh their "support" only for them to confirm they removed the feature entirely and are uncertain if they'll ever add it back in or not. One of the most BASIC of features. It makes all of my playlists completely unmanageable and if it's not fixed, I'll just painstakingly recreate all of these playlists in Spotify and never come back.

    I am livid with the last update. The devs have straight up REMOVED one of the most critical features of the service. First, they removed the handy A-Z scroll in our playlists, and then "sort by album" was removed. Now "sort by artist", the most essential sorting option has been completely removed. Devs and their copy-paste "support" have responded to tell us that the feature was removed and they're uncertain of whether or not they'll bring it back or not.

    For a service that I pay for and put countless hours curating my playlists in, this is wholely unacceptable. But "support" has the gall to actually suggest that the "artists" tab is sufficient? Absolutely not.

    This will be the update that drives away countless of their subscribers, myself included. I REALLY don't want to recreate all of my playlists in Spotify, but if this isn't fixed and I have to, I will cancel completely and never return. Spotify is looking pretty good these days.

    So I ask support, if you're reading this here. When will this feature come back and bring sorting back?

    What! The most important feature of ALL is to be able to sort a playlist, like my Favourites / Loved Tracks (1000+ of them) by A.R.T.I.S.T. The only options that remain in the latest version are by order added to this list and by ‘default’ ie reverse date order. 

    Deezer MUST bring back the ability to sort by ARTIST. 

    On the Android App, I mean, before someone suggests it is still possible to do so (on desktop). 

    I will communicate this in as many chats possible. And yes, I will stop using if not back!

    I am unable to sort my downloaded favourite tracks (more than 1k of them) by Artist. When will this feature come back? I have no interest in listening to a random melange of songs jumping from one to another. I want to listen to my curated list so that I can listen to all the favourite songs from a single artist easily.

    I'm considering cancelling my subscription now since they removed basic functionality frome their app.

    I have already tranfered all my playlists to Spotify with the help of tunemymusic.com

    We used to have the option to listen to favourites from either end of the playlist through the sort button. But now you can only listen fron one end as the sort section doesn't have as many optio s as it used to? I want to listen from either end so this is very frustrating!!!!

    Sorting playlist on android by artist or song from A to Z was removed in latest update and when I asked support directly they responed that it was intentional and this feature won't be coming back.

    Oh yeah, they also broke their imported music system. Covers are all gone for me. I am genuinely offended with all these reductive changes made by the Deezer team. If they think I'm stupid enough to pay for a product that considers taking steps back necessary, I'm out.

    Dealing with this as well. My playlists are impossible to find songs on now, I've already cancelled and will not be returning unless basic functionality is restored to the app.

    As a few others have stated, the ability to sort playlists A-Z,  by Album or Artist, have all been removed. This is a basic function of a working music app and I would like to know if it will be returning.

    Ive already cancelled my membership and wont be resuming it unless I can sort my playlists.

    You should also know they destroyed their imported music system. Album covers are gone for them and artist names as well. I genuinely have no clue how a company even greenlights these changes. This is by far the worst update a music streaming platform has ever made.
