Custom Sorting Order for Playlists in Library Window

samhflanagan — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 15:57:31 GMT

Could you guys (at Spotify) please add a "Custom" sorting option for playlists in the Library window? The only current options are Recents, Recently Added, Alphabetical, and Creator. I'm very particular about the playlist order I want to see in that window.

I don't love the chunky playlist blocks (I preferred one line per playlist without images), but I can roll with those changes. I just want my playlists in that window to be in my own custom order so that I can easily drag and drop songs into my various playlists.

Hey there @samhflanagan!

This actually already exists. All you have to do is click on the Playlists filter at the top of the Library section of the sidebar.

Set the Filter to Playlists.
Set the sort order to Custom order.

You should now be able to drag & drop playlists outside of your folders as well as change their order.

Custom order is no longer there on the latest version. Just the other 4 in your list above. Custom Order has been removed

Hey @cookster61

Do you have the Playlist filter selected?
