Why can i only view my playlists in year order? It is dangerous as I now have to scroll through 10 years or more, whilst driving, to display my earliest playlists! 
i cannot use siri as it is far too unreliable when driving.

    Hi ​@jules-d We've harmonised the sorting and display of your favourite albums, playlists, and artists i CarPlay — they're now ordered by recently added (most recent first) and grouped by year for easier browsing.

    I can easily remember the name of a playlist - but not what year it was created. So, I now have to view the carplay screen multiple times as I drop down through the years. Am i alone in recognising the danger of viewing a screen multiple times when driving?
    I can rename a list easily to start with the letter ‘A’, I cannot change the creation date. The playlists display in alphabetical order within the phone app BUT NOT ON CARPLAY. 
    why?

    Agreed, this is irresponsible and dangerous for driving.

    it needs reverting back before a serious accident happens.

    if not changed I no will migrate to a more responsible platform.

    I completely agree as well, sorting by recently added/ year is obviously much more dangerous and makes playlists much harder to find. Voice control does not work well enough to accurately find playlists either. So this seems a really stupid change by Deezer.

    This has been a question from me as well:

    Thank you, I took a look through, very helpful to know. If its a CarPlay issue which is Apple’s responsibility I hope they see sense soon, since this change is crazy!
