Custom playlist order not working on Android app

My Question or Issue

I can see "Custom" as an option to sort my playlists on mobile, but I cannot actually do anything with that on mobile... what is even the point of having a "Custom" sort option if you do not then allow us to customize said order on the app? Please tell me this is part of your backlog. I read on another thread here that you can do this on desktop. It makes zero sense that you would prioritize desktop for this functionality at the expense of mobile. At least give us the option to drag and drop playlists as part of the "Custom" sort on mobile.

Hey @Needsomehelppls

Custom, means it uses the order you decided, when adding songs, either through the Desktop or Android app. Check this thread here:

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Rearrange-tracks-inside-a-playlist-Android/idi-p/690366

To change the order of tracks, just click the three dot menu to Edit Playlist.

Hope it helps. 🙂

Needsomehelppls was asking about order of playlists, not songs in a playlist! I have the same question/issue. Why has no one answered the qn in over 2 yrs? And more generally, why is Spotify, one of the most popular apps on the planet, such a poor user experience? Whhhy?
