It would sure be nice to have a global episode sort capability. I always want my episodes from oldest to newest. As a new user of the app, going to each of 60 subscriptions to change that is a pain.

Sorry to bump such an old post, but as somebody who has recently setup 2 device this feature would be amazing.

I guess it would be in the same feature set as this request, but for sort instead of subscription filters;

If you use the Queue this is a sort in the Queue that has several options.

I was saying if you add episodes to the Queue, there are sort options available in the Queue screen.
