It seems like this just started for me today, so it may have been an update. But I like to have my libraries in reverse date added order so I can see what’s been there the longest that I haven’t yet watched. However, when navigating away from a library and back, it now forces the sort order back to …

In another thread, Plex DaveBin said this is a known regression and will be fixed in the next release.

I am not on this version yet, but you can change the date-added order by reselecting it. Note the direction of the yellow arrow: Sorting: oldest first [Screenshot 2021-04-22 at 18.22.33] Sorting: newest first: [Screenshot 2021-04-22 at 18.22.44]

and thankfully it now appears to have been fixed. thanks
