[Enhancement] Android Auto - Add podcast Latest tab

[update-freak]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When I start driving in my car I want to start the playing with a podcast playlist with unlistened episodes instead of selecting one specific episode from a podcast.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would be nice to have access to a playlist of the unlistened episodes.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I tried to create a playlist, but I did not have access to it via Android Auto.

This would be like the "Latest" tab right? I think adding the latest tab to android auto is a good idea.

[update-freak]

yes, adding the "Latest" tab to Android Auto would be great.

Except the "latest" tab sorts in reverse chronological order; there should at least be a way to change the sort of the list.

[advplyr]

Wouldn't that be "oldest"?

Uhh 🤔 let's see if I can get my diectics in a row here 😂

By reverse chronological order, I meant that —from top to bottom— it sorts newest to oldest. To me, chronological order should sort from oldest to newest (in the order they were published), placing the first item in the most accessible spot at the top of the list. It's entirely referential though!

Display order and play order should be selectable if this is intended to work like a queue across all subscribed podcasts.

[advplyr]

The latest page is sorted by the pub date set on the episode, same as an RSS feed would. The most recent pub date will be on the top. Maybe your episodes don't have a pub date?

OP asked for a playlist functionality in Android auto to play latest episodes without having to select each one.

I was trying to point out that the option to choose play order would be important to that feature to make it relevant to both use cases of playing the episodes starting with the oldest episode (chronological order) and starting with the newest episode (reverse chronological order).
