I have verified that the bug is not already awaiting release

Yes

What was the Problem?

The Episode Sorting here is based on the release date of thr episode:

But on the Start page it is based on file downloaded timestamp.

I would suggest that the ordering / sorting should always be based on the release date of the episode.
Or please make it configure able (I checked the configuration, but was not able to fond it)

In any case, please keep up the amazing work. It is totally apreciated.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Add a new Podcast
Download several Episodes
Add an other Podcast
Download several Episodes

Compare the sorting

What was Expected?

The sorting is always the same based on release date of the episode, not download / file creation date.

Phone Model

Fairphone 5

Phone OS

Android 15

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.11.0

Installation Source

Google Play Store

@nichwall commented on GitHub (Jan 27, 2026):

The home page sorting is probably sorting the same way the books "Newest" shelf is sorted, which is when it was added to the database.
