playing podcasts in order by publish date

under the downloaded section, I have it sorted by date published. Is it possible to play podcasts in that order regardless of what the show is? currently it will play by date published but it stays on 1 podcast. I hope that makes sense. Iphone XR iOS 14.6

Yes, but until some bugs are fixed, listen to episodes in Show lists and Station lists and not in the Downloaded, Latest Episodes, or Listen Now windows. Also Follow all Shows in which you listen to episodes.


Try creating a Station then assigning a couple Shows you Follow to it. Stations give you an extra sorting and episode-limiting level that can be different from the Show settings. On the Library page tap Edit in the upper-right corner and choose New Station. Then make your choices in the Station Settings that if you wish.


The pic below shows the Podcasts app settings at iPhone Settings>Podcasts (left frame), the Station settings (middle) and the Show settings (right) in the image below. Check the blue arrows which cause Shows to be updated automatically and permit you to limit new episodes. Also note the blue circles that hide played episodes and remove played downloads.
