Sort A to Z gone

I've been a loyal paying member since 2013. I'm getting sick & tired of irrational changes. Fix your shit now (this really is an issue for me) or I'm going to migrate to SoundCloud.... 

I hate this so much, worst update ever. How am I supposed to know when I added something to a playlist!? Also I like to have proper oversight on things, this entire jumble of songs is giving me so much anxiety. Very much considering swapping to a different streaming service. 

I have an android phone. The only playlist I ever had any loading issues with is my Favourites playlist, which is 5000+ songs, so makes sense it would take 5-10 extra seconds to load!! 

I am a software developer. The idea that removing a sorting facility could make anything noticeably faster is ludicrous, unless it is implemented in a really stupid way. The sort only needs to be done once at the point that the user requests it and can be done efficiently. Once the list is sorted, there should be no ongoing performance impact. These responses from Deezer implying that there is some "technical" reason don't make sense. There is something else going on here and they are not giving the full story.

Awesome

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.

 

Removing functionality for speed is insane. A list loads more quickly, except it's entirely unusable. I'd rather a momentary delay in loading and have a list you can actually sort than a lengthy mess loaded quickly. Please make it make sense.

Ok, Greg, 18 days and we are still waiting for Deezer to sort this problem out, needs to happen soon or people will start walking 

Hello,

The fix is integrated in version 8.0.33 which progressive rollout (over several days) has started on Monday so you should be receiving it very soon.

Hi Greg from Deezer, we are all still waiting for you good folk to reinstall a decent service that we are paying for and bring the ability to sort alphabetically.

Another week has passed with no update configuring this feature.

Or are you even going to bother?
