The Music app in iOS 10 has received a major overhaul in terms of design. Although the app is now more aesthetically pleasing compared to how it looked in iOS 9, many users are having a hard time finding essential features such as the Shuffle and Repeat buttons.

Another example is the Sort Songs & Albums functionality that is nowhere to be found in the iOS 10 Music app. The good news is that this feature is still available, but it is not located in the Music app. In this tutorial, we will show you how you can access the Sort feature of the Music app in iOS 10.

How to Sort Songs and Albums in the Music app in iOS 10

Step 1: Launch the Settings app.

Step 2: Scroll down a bit and you should see Music. Tap on it to open.

Step 3: Under Library, you will find the Sort Songs & Albums option. Tap it to open the sort settings.

Step 4: Choose how you want to sort the songs and albums in the Music app. You can sort either by artist or title name.

Step 5: Now head back to the Music app and you should see all the songs & albums sorted based on the criteria you chose.

It would have been better if this functionality was built into the Music app so that users don’t have to go to Settings every time they want to change the sort criteria. Another thing that I don’t like is that the song and album sorting is not separate. The sorting criteria that you choose will be applied to both songs and albums, so there’s no way that you can separately specify how they should be sorted.
