Lumin App-Qobuz Question

I can't figure out how to get albums I add to favorites to be configured alphabetically by artist instead of date I added. Thanks to any who respond. When using Tidal there was a little pictograph in the source bar you could tap and it would rearrange the albums from date added to alphabetical by artist. I can't find that using Qobuz with the Lumin app.

  Thanks Howard for keeping me in the loop. I am going to give roon a try because then I’ll be able to get the sorting by artist that I need. Happy new year, Larry Kennedy Tuberist

Qobuz Customer Support reports "I do not have more of an update for you other than our team is working on it with Aurender.  We hope to have it rolled out to the public soon".

Unfortunately, I have no additional information on when the Qobuz Sort API will be available or what the word 'soon' means.

I emailed Qobuz today, AGAIN, and asked if they have any updated NEWS from their Developers regarding the release of the Qobuz sort API.   The Qobuz sort API is taking a  long time to be developed AND I am still waiting.  For example:

1) Their November 6th, 2019 email says "I'm walking this question over to the API team now. I'll be back in touch when I have heard more information about this".  

2) Their August 15th, 2019 email says "Our API is completely revamping the whole system in order to provide first in class metadata to our third party partners. I don't have a time line for you outside of early Fall 2019. I wish I could provide you with more information about it”.

3)  Their July 12th, 2019 email says "I hope we can get this rolled out for you and all of our users in the very near future”. 

Once Qobuz completes the Qobuz SORT API, the Aurender Developers have to implement it for my Aurender N10 Music Server.   Qobuz sort options by Artist name is a HIGH priority feature and needs to be implemented.   I find my albums by artist name so sort options are required.

I received the following response from Qobuz Customer Support regarding my above Sort API question:

"I appreciate you bringing this back to my attention. Unfortunately I do NOT have any updates for you regarding the SORT API as of right now".

The “mconnect Player” app (iPhone) and the “mconnect Player HD” app (iPad in landscape-only) added Qobuz sorting 2 months ago. It is a UPnP/DLNA controller, so although it does not support OpenHome extensions, it does work on my Lumin U1 Mini and Oppo 205. So the API has been updated and implemented by at least one third party developer. The mconnect apps added TIDAL “My Mix” support as well; the only 3rd-party app that I know of that has support for those playlists.
