Hey there!

Have you tried a reinstall or a clean install of the app? It tends to solve all such issues. You can select multiple songs and move by dragging as well as use the default filters present which sorts your playlist on mobile as well as desktop application, like, Title, Time, Date Added etc.

Help others find this answer and click "Accept as Solution".
If you appreciate my answer, maybe give me a Like.

Doesnt work for me in the ios version or the destop version, does nothin in the ios version. the destop one just asks if i want to add it again to my playlist. this is a bit of a deal breaker for me. I'm so used to rearranging my lists in itunes.
