Sort A to Z gone

Hi ​@krystian12 ​@Dmytro Korol ​@BigFKahuna ​@Hyde99X ​@ASTRID L ​@CharlyMX ​@dimitri_v I have already got feedback from the developers.

Indeed, the option to sort A-Z was removed to prioritize speed and improve how quickly playlists and favourite tracks load.

An issue that was affecting the experience on Android devices.

Deezer understands this is a big change, how you organize your music, but our focus is on delivering a faster and more intuitive experience.

You can use the search function to locate tracks inside your favourites or any playlist.

​@Leonídia.Deezer I didn’t have problems with speed and load in playlists, but I do have a really big one with impossibility to sort my playlists. So, if you don't plan to bring sorting back, I will consider cancelling subscription and moving to alternative services, unfortunately.

I am really surprised that some of these changes are made unilaterally without (I wonder) checking what the reaction will be. I didnt have speed issues either… but I have an issue now, in the form of a poor service..

I will a) only use deezer for album listening, and forget about playlists etc, b) not recommend deezer to anyone (I am already laughed at as it is for not using more popular alternatives) c) and move on to another provider when the opportunity arises. 

Shame as I wanted to support a European company / based in Europe. 

That's not good news :(
Many users are going to be a little angry

Maybe with our vote we can bring back sort from A -Z and by Artist on Android  !

Hi! Several people have already mentioned that the A-Z sorting in playlists is gone, which I'm absolutely shocked at. But I've also noticed, my downloaded music tab -which is the one I always use to access my library- is all wrong? Playlists and albums are all listed in a random order, and I have no option to sort them differently. Basically, if I wanna find anything, I can only scroll until I see it.

You also used to be able to pick how your library would look (big icons VS smaller ones), that is also gone. Basically the tab looks like shit and is unusable. Is this also part of the update? Or is my app messed-up? I'm on Android with the latest update

This just happened to me this morning. I reached out to Deezer to ask wtf and this was their response.

“ Deezer is always looking for ways to make your music experience better, faster and more seamless.
To achieve this, with the launch of the most recent version for Android 8.0.27, we have made a technical change by removing the A-Z sorting feature.
This decision was made to prioritize speed and improve how quickly your Playlists and Favourite tracks load. We understand this may feel like a change to how you organize your music, but our focus is on delivering a faster, more intuitive experience so you can spend more time enjoying your favourite tunes.”

IDK who thought this was a good idea but this change is terrible.

I thought this was a bug at first so I reached out to support and they replied with this.

Bull. Shit. Nothing about this change makes anything “faster” or “more intuitive”.

I have NOT had any problem with speed or performance on my last 3 android devices that I have used Deezer on. Certainly not with my latest, high performance phone. I do wonder whether older phones may not perform as well? Either way, Deezer should, in that case, release different versions for OS vs older ones? 

I am very disappointed. 

Wow. Agreed. This update does the exact opposite of making our experience “faster and more intuitive” tbh. I've seen several people complaining and I really hope they take it into account bc I don't even want to use the app anymore.
