Feature Request: Ability to sort Up Next queue by release date
-
Hello Pocket Casts,
Let me start by saying, I really enjoy the Pocket Cast app on my phone and computer. I spend way too much time listening to podcasts while working, driving, etc. I am an heavy user of the “Up Next” queue and have all the podcasts that I subscribe to auto add episodes to the end of the queue. This works extremely well for me because I can simply open the app and press play and it handles playing everything in release order for me. The issue I have is when I subscribe to a new podcast and want to add all their episodes to my “Up Next” queue. I currently sort the episodes by oldest to newest on the podcast page and then select all to be added to my queue. This works well for sorting that podcast by release order, but it simply adds all those episodes to the front or back of the queue. It doesn’t sort all that podcast’s episodes with the other podcast episodes by release order. It would be amazing to have the ability to sort my “Up Next” queue by release order, like I can in the podcast page. Then I would simply be able to bulk add all the newly subscribed podcast episodes to my queue and it will handle merging everything with the other podcasts by my configured sort order. which in my case would be release order.
Thanks!

Thanks for writing in with your feature request! I especially appreciate your detailed explanation of how being able to sort according to release date would be helpful to you.
We have an open feature request related to this—specifically, it’s for adding sort options. I’ve made sure to add a vote for it on your behalf. Thanks again!

Please add my vote too :) and the ability to randomize the queue as well. I love your app but I’m always “randomizing” my Up Next by hand… There should really be a feature for that. Thanks!

I’m here because I was directed this way after making the exact same request!
+1 from me! -
Another vote for this. I have just come back to using pocket casts after google shut down theirs so have added a head to the play list but they are all over the place with no way to sort them in date order.

Plus one for this feature. Sorting the playlist by hand is getting old, especially since it freaks out sometimes and scrolls quickly to one end or the other. And because I missed a few months of auto-add because the default limit is so small, I’ll be spending a bunch of time sorting myself.

Please add a vote from me for sorting the queue. I manually add episodes to my queue so I get a a bunch from one podcast then a load from another and I have to spend ages dragging them up the list to interleave them. I would pay for the pro version if it had this feature!
