Hi @MasonSchoolmeyr

You can sort the playlist by predefined order like artist or song name by pulling up from the top of the playlist and clicking the button with three horizontal lines on the right. It will show a popup with a sorting order.

If you want to manually rearrange your playlist, press the three dots on the right and select "Edit playlist"

Hope that helps.

Have a great day 🙂

I think what this person is asking is the ability sort the actual playlists, not the songs in a playlist. The lefthand column is a nightmare to navigate if you have many playlists. You can manually drag them one by one to whatever position you want, but if you have a lot of playlists that can take forever. There needs to be a better way to sort them.

I want to be able to sort each individual playlist exactly the way I want.

That is not possible currently

If you mean changing the order of the playlists themselves, yes it is not possible in the moment.

However, you can vote for this idea. If it gathers enough votes, Spotify will consider implementing it in the future.
