Allow each podcast a custom default sort
In custom settings should be an option for the default sort for each podcasts. Some are easiest by name (books), while date by oldest first (catch up on podcasts), date by newest first (normal podcasts). There should also be a default sort choice for any without a custom setting.
In the next version I will add a setting in Settings/Display/Custom sort per podcast
By default every podcast will display its episodes using the same order as the app last episodes/downloaded episodes/all episodes/…
If you enable this new setting, you will be able to customize the sorting for each podcasts
Edit: This feature is available in the new v2.23.2 version which is currently rolling out.
The full rollout should be complete in a day or 2
