Not currently possible in spotify-tui, it doesn't look like the Spotify API lets us sort from their end. We could sort the results after we receive them, but not sure how useful this is?

Will close this as it's a duplicate of #76

How useful is the artists tab at all when it's sorted by when they were added? I'll help you out; its absolutely useless. By your logic, remove the artists tab altogether because it's non-functional. Much more useful than leaving the results a jumbled mess. If it isn't possible to cache a user's saved albums and sort the results in a sane manner, it would make much more sense not to have the album tab at all as a feature

Caching saved albums could be a good solution. At the moment we just display the list of albums as returned by the spotify api.

Sorry to hear you find the artists view absolutely useless 😞
