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!

Has anyone ever recommended a pod cast to you that’s been running for a few years?
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 Dave, I agree, that this is not ideal. I'm just checking with the Podcast team and will let you know, as soon as I have an answer 🙂

Did anything ever come about from this? I just signed up for the trial and am looking at the podcasts and there does not appear to be a away to sort them from oldest to newest. Gonna be deal breaker for me if it's not possible.

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 just tried to use Deezer for the first time to listen to some podcasts. Straight away (whilst I'm out on a run) it's unusable because the default order is to have the latest episode at the top however I want to listen to the first episode and episode two etc. without having to touch my phone - but I can't see anyway to do this apart from having to manually change the play queue every time?

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 😞

Hi there, unfortunately we have no news about this. It has been forwarded and it is being looked into, but resources need to be allocated first. Sorry for the long wait!
