Apple Music playlists won't sort right on CarPlay

Why will the sorting sequence of playlists made on Apple Music not reflect on CarPlay?


I used to be able to sort a playlist alphabetically, by date added, in reverse order, etc. and that new order would be reflected when looking through the same playlist on CarPlay. Now, no matter which way I sort a playlist, CarPlay will ONLY display the playlist in oldest to newest date added order. Very frustrating because I want to access the songs I’ve recently added, but I now have to scroll for an unreasonable amount of time on my small radio screen to do this which defeats the purpose of CarPlay almost entirely.
