Can't Change Order Of Songs On Playlists

Can't Change Order Of Songs On Playlists

I'm using the desktop app. Up until recently, I was able to sort my playlists by title, artist, or album, now I can't do anything to sort it. I can't even drag them into place, and there is no sorting option at all. This is my playlist, I am the creator so I know that's not why.

Hey there @GothBabyy

 

Thanks for reaching out - weโ€™re here to help!

 

Weโ€™re often testing and launching improvements and new features. This means you might see something on the app your friend doesnโ€™t, or get a new feature to try temporarily. 

 

We suggest you check this help article for more info about test features.

 

Tip: Make sure you don't miss a thing by enabling automatic updates on your device.

 

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any more questions. 

This is the worst update to date. Why remove the most basic features of any music app. Whenever I add music to a playlist I like to listen to the newer items first. Now I can no longer sort by anything either including most recently added.

Quite agree with meepz .
Give us the option not to be your guinea pigs !

I am part of this "test" - how do I opt out? I follow plenty of playlists and often sort by Date Added so I can see what other people are listening to lately and have found plenty of new songs this way. Once I find someone with similar tastes as me, I like to know what songs they are finding that I don't yet know about. Removing this basic feature is a big step back. Perhaps if there is a "simplified view" and a "detailed view" to let people choose.
