An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Oh, to clarify: what I really want is the ability to quickly toggle back & forth between manual sort and my preferred automatic sort. The checkbox is merely a suggested way of achieving that, but a different UI for that would also be fine.

An error occurred while saving the comment Definitely this would help. I got frustrated at the difficulty in re-ordering priorities, so I ended up creating a Dewey-decimal-ish scheme for the podcasts, e.g. high priority favorites >1000, news & dailies in the 900s, shows to keep up on for discussing with friends in the 800s, and so on down. :D Then there's sure to be enough space to re-order shows easily within their group. But that's ... awful UX.
Drag & drop would solve the problem permanently, easily, & completely intuitively.
I use the "alternate podcasts" option in the playlist, so I don't need equal priorities. But for those who want equal priorities, there are lots of possible solutions. The most flexible would be multi-select: select several adjacent podcasts in the priority list, hit the "=" button, and bam-presto they're a single group sharing one priority. Heck, then you can even drag&drop the groups if you need to reorder them!

Hey, I implemented a similar feature in the latest Beta of the app as a test.
Can you please join the Beta on the app Play Store page and then download the latest update
Then please go into Settings/Playlist and enable ‘Smart priority sorting’
Please let me know how this works for you so I can know if this makes sense to have this in the next version of the appFYI this takes into account priority and episode release date
Thanks
An error occurred while saving the comment There's a common, simpler algorithm that's just: (Priority + DaysSinceDownloaded).
It's really nice because it's stable. A fully-downloaded playlist of episodes will stay sorted in the same order even if you ignore it for a day. And that makes perfect intuitive sense: if they all got one day older, then their priorities compared to each other should stay the same. Then if you download a new episode, it just gets inserted somewhere into that sorted list based on its (priority+age) also, with no reshuffling.
By contrast, the ((2^(priority-1))*releaseage) algorithm would cause the playlist to reshuffle in weird and counterintuitive ways.

An error occurred while saving the comment Four digits. Some podcasts have been published for over a decade now.
Or better yet, arbitrary digits.
