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?
