Podcasts and the order of episodes (Playing in chronological order etc.)
Hiya guys. As other users have suggested, it would be fantastic if you could choose the order in which to play podcasts. The majority of people like to play podcasts in chronological order, especially if you’ve just found a new one to start listening to. It’s quite irritating to have to constantly go back to the app to manually select the next episode since the default order means you’re listening in reverse order. Please include this in a future update soon! It’s my only pet peeve about Deezer at the very very least, have an option to select podcast episodes using the ‘play next’ or ‘queue’ function. Thanks!

So naturally you want to listen from the beginning right?
NOT with the way deezer currently orders the pod cast.
On a PC/laptop it seem to be that the latest eps are at the top and the oldest at the bottom.
So you scroll to the bottom, click on the oldest one and start catching up…but when that one finishes it takes you back to the top and starts to play the news one… spoiler!
So you scroll to the bottom and hit the next oldest one… listen, and repeat… please…! Why not either reverse the play order, or at least give the user an option to reverse the play order.
Hi there, we were told that they are looking into changing it, but we didn't receive any news just yet. We'll let you know once we have an update.
I've also tried to "sort" the order on the beta desktop app and that's the same - unusable really?
I think the podcast team need to put some effort in here guys - either do it well (and I mean basic functions) or just take Podcasts away from Deezer 😞
just wondering if you've any news on this as I feel Deezer is missing a trick not being able to re-order podcasts/add them to a playlist (which you could then re-order and also then add to a Fitbit!)
Spotify are all over the news with the investment they're making into Podcasts this year.... I really hope your devs are working on this!?
Thanks for your input. But could you explain your suggestion in a bit more detail? How would you change that numerical order, for example?
please refer to this On going Discussion. https://en.deezercommunity.com/got-an-idea-9/podcasts-needs-work-can-t-change-order-and-default-is-the-wrong-way-around-16977
I'm with you
I'm really hoping they fix this soon (and I'm hoping perhaps allow podcasts to be added to playlist as then I can also transfer to my Fitbit Ionic!)

You're now able to put podcasts onto the Garmin watches for offline use.
I hope Deezer are working with Fitbit to make this happen (as I've said before - if you could just add episodes to a playlist this would work as you can already add playlists to Fitbit for offline use!) 🙂
I'm hopeful.... one day.. (please!).
I know that we've been discussing this. But it could be on the pipeline for the future. I'll pass the feedback on and see what our devs say 😉
thanks
How could you listen to a podcast in several issues, when the tracks are in the wrong order?
Worse, i cannot add each track in a private playlist, so I could sort them manually.
What the point of listening to a book, or show or audio documentary from the end to the start???
What am I supposed to do: stop my car to get to the track before, while driving on a highway??!?
EVERY 10 MINUTES???!!!
What happens :
The only way to fix this is to refresh the page and press play again (and pray it kept where I was on the podcast).
It is really annoying as podcasts are long and I often pause it because i'm interrupted, so I encounter the problem very often.
I agree with above - hopefully the development team will actually try and listen to podcasts and understand how it should work! 🙂
