Subscriptions order - add reverse option

App version: 3.0.2 (F-Droid)

Problem you may be having, or feature you want:
My preferred way of listening to podcast is to “burndown” the backlog, and the easiest way (for me) is to do podcast with least episodes. This also helps being up to date with the podcast - I can do current ones (so then they don’t accumulate) and then do ones from the backlog, and in this case selecting one with least episodes makes the most sense - the easiest way to catch-up and have everything played thus reducing list with (unplayed) podcast.

Currently AntennaPod only allows sorting by number of unplayed episodes but from highest to lowest, which means that in the drawer I see podcasts with lots of episodes at the top and the ones which I would like to listen first at the bottom, thus upon opening the drawer I have to scroll the list.

Suggested solution:
In Subscription section add “Reversed” option to all existing subscription order options (episodes number, alphabetically, publication date, number of played episodes)

Screenshots / Drawings / Technical details:
In Doughnut (macOS) podcast player I can have preferred sorting thus I don’t have to scroll podcast list section almost ever:

I would also love to have the sort option added into the episodes screen.

It’s been suggested that I can add all the episodes to the queue and sort from there but I find it rather clunky to add more than 5000 episodes to the queue just to use this feature.

But you can already sort episodes within podcast view (three dots → sort)… And it has reverse flavours…

Yeah. That I know off.

I was looking for a sort option in the episodes screen. An option that allows me to sort all my episodes across all my shows.

Sorting the episodes screen is already implemented and will be released in AntennaPod 3.1
