Spotify Android App Sort By Add Date

Posted on  by

Spotify is a digital music service that gives you access to millions of songs.

Spotify Android App Sort By Add Date

Use the app to play music files stored on your device, which we call local files.

  • Playlist Manager helps users with many playlists to easily organize them. It counts with the ability to sort songs by different parameters, most noticeably by date added to a specific playlist, or over all playlists. It can also filter the songs by name or artist. Users can also quickly play a preview of any song, as well as play the full song inside Spotify with the Spotify Play Button.
  • Xda-developers Android Development and Hacking Android Apps and Games APKMOD Spotify Lite (Ad-Free) by K3V1991 XDA Developers was founded by developers, for developers. It is now a valuable resource for people who want to make the most of their mobile devices, from customizing the look and feel to adding new functionality.
  • As of 12 April 2020 these sorting options are not available on Android as far as I can see. I rely on a custom sorting order for much the same reasons as the original poster, and so would really appreciate it if there was some way to sort playlists manually. Or at the very least stop Spotify from automatically sorting them by most recently played.

  • This sort function could be added to the menu button dropdown options or add a menu button to the play queue screen top right corner that would drop down options to sort the play queue. As a developer myself I would add sort functions by date added to the menu button top right of the playlist view (you would need 2 sort functions by date, recent to oldest and oldest to recent).
  • In the Now Playing view, tap (iOS) (Android) on a podcast or show to: Get more information. Download episodes for offline listening. Share with your friends and to your social channels. Add it to your Play Queue.

Music from that folder is now in Local Files in the menu on the left.

Supported file types

Note: Some of your files may be protected in restricted formats. Install QuickTime on your computer to allow most of these tracks to be played on Spotify.

  • .mp3
  • .m4p (unless it contains video)
  • .mp4 (if QuickTime is installed on your computer)

The iTunes lossless format (M4A) isn't supported.

If your file isn’t supported, we do our best to match it with songs from the Spotify catalog. The version we match with might differ from the original.
