I transferred my music from Spotify. I keep my playlist, Liked/Favorites specifically, sorted by default to retain the order the songs were listed. On Spotify, that was newer or more recent songs at the top of the list. In Deezer, when I add songs, they are added to the bottom of the list. My issue here is that I don’t want to play songs on shuffle all of the time and when I play not shuffled, it’s starts from the top. So when exactly am I supposed to hear those songs that I just added. I would prefer them to be added to the top of the playlist. I don’t know if this matters, but if I’m in the US, I’m wondering if this is something that could be fixed with a date format option.

here are photos to illustrate my point. Yes, I understand sorting by date added puts the new songs (highlighted in yellow) at the top of the playlist, however it reorders the rest of the songs. By sorting them by Default, the songs remain in the “correct” order according to the date added in Spotify. Because I transferred the playlist over, ALL songs have the same added date.  What I am asking is that the highlighted songs be added to the top of the default playlist. If tune my music retained the original date added when transferring music, I don’t think this would be an issue. I also understand that is something to take up with them.

When songs are added to a new service, they are recognized as newly added to that service's library. 

The transfer tools don't carry over the specific date each song was added to your Spotify playlist to the Deezer platform. 

In short, you cannot transfer music from Spotify to Deezer while retaining the original adding date, and all songs added to the new service will have the same date .

Hi ​@kelllts !

 

On the Desktop Deezer app, there is an Added option for sorting songs by date, so you can choose the song that was last added to be at the top.

On Android, there is a Recently Added option .

My issue with this is that because I transferred my music from Spotify, all songs have the same added date. I want to retain the order they were listed in Spotify, which is only achieved by keeping the list sorted by Default in Deezer.
