Multi-level Queue management

App version: 3.11.4f from F-Droid

Problem you may be having, or feature you want: I listen to a fair number (~20) podcasts of varying categories (tech news, comedy, world affairs, etc). I like to have my queue sorted by date (play the oldest first, then move to the next oldest), but I also want to hear my “latest news” podcasts before the longer “weekly/monthly comedy” podcasts.

I setup three “tags”:

  • 1-high priority - shorter and/or listen before others
  • 5-medium priority - medium and/or more preferred to listen to
  • 9-low priority - longer and/or good as “time filler” when the other two tags are empty

I hoped that I could populate my queue by the tag - so all the “1-high” priority podcasts would be first in the queue followed by “5-medium” priority, then followed by “9-low” priority podcasts.

Suggested solution: Permit the queue to be sorted by tag and kept sorted as new shows are added and existing shows are played and removed.
