Sort Albums by date added missing in latest iPad & iOS Music App? Also Music App randomly stop connecting to Apple Music?

I cannot be sure if it happened with iPadOS 17.1.1. update or it happened earlier, but I noticed that iPad Music no longer have an option to sort Albums by "recently added". It now only allow me to sort by "Title" or "Artist".


"Recently Added" section of iPad Music is limited in number of Album that show and cannot sort all of my Albums (only most recent 60 Albums), so this is a major issue for me...


In addition, I have noticed that Music App will randomly stop loading music from Music App with spinning wheel, and only way to get back connection is to force quit App and re-start App....


On my iPhone Music App. with iOS 17.0.3, I can see that I still have an option to sort Album by "recently added" along with "title" and "artist", and not suffering random connection issue.


I just updated my iPhone, and upon updating to iOS 17.1.1., iPhone Music App and I also lost ability to sort Albums by "recently added" option....


I hope this is not a new "feature" and Apple accidentally removed this feature???

I’m having the same issue with sorting my albums by “Recently Added”. I notice the feature was no longer there, we can only sort by “Title” or “Artist”. This is a huge issue for me as well so I hope this is just another bug. It’s so annoying.

I cannot verify the sorting issue. I will need check that. However, I can verify that iPadOS 17.1.1 broke Apple Music.

It just stops playing. On any playlist, the playlist will stop after a particular song plays. If you look at Apple Music, it 'thinks' it is playing the next song. However, no sound is coming through, the song artwork is blank, but onscreen pause/play button is in play mode. I have to restart the app for it to play anything. This is a major bug. I guess this is not so surprising with all the bugs Apple is pushing out these days.
