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!

please, work on this Deezer. I would like to hear podcasts of news in chronological order without doing any change manually.

This is honestly extremely frustrating… basic functionality, should be prioritized in their product improvement..

I am a new Deezer used… and I confirm that this is annoying and frustrating. Sad to say but Spotify user experience was far better under this perspective

This thread is now nearly a decade old and ​@Deezer ​@Anja we still can’t play podcasts in chronological order

I'd like to add my voice to this. Unbelievable that it's taken 7 years to not solve this problem! You can sort the episodes from old to new on your screen but it still plays them backwards from new to old!!!

I thought I was losing my mind! This is really basic functionality that should have been in place from day 1…

 

OK, after reading through this thread again carefully I see that you can change the sort order now and that seems to work for playback in the correct direction. It’d be nice if the podcast page remembered your sort order when you come back to it from elsewhere (and maybe scroll position(?), the one I’m on right now has almost 650 episodes(!) and I jump around from new to old to new again depending on which history topic I’m interested in at the moment).

Bumping this! Crazy it still hasn't been resolved

New (duo) user over from Spotify. Being able to queue from current episode towards newer episodes is one of the only features. I often listen in the car on longer trips, and this would be a must so as to not have to tap around in-between every episode! 

And agreed with the above, sort by added, but scrolling to 600+ episodes is not great. Filter out listened or jump to last not played would be perfect.

Can I add my support to this. It is really frustrating that Deezer does not have this functionality. This will force me to go back to Spotify. They have this feature for years and years.
