How can I play Podcasts in reverse chronological order?

I am on an iPhone 13 Pro, using iOS 18.5. As odd as it may seem, I would like to play some podcasts in REVERSE chronological order, however they always just autoplay in chronological order. I’ve changed the episode order to newest to oldest but it won’t actually play in that order, only chronologically. This didn’t use to be the case. There use to be two options one for the order you viewed the podcast episodes and another for how you would like them to be played. For some reason that second option seems to have been removed. Is there something I’m missing in order for episodes to autoplay in reverse order?
