Hey @241095,
Thanks for your reply.
We'd like to add further insights. So, when sorting a playlist, you'll find some options: title, artist, album and date added for your Liked Songs playlist. For the rest of the playlists, you'll find the aforementioned sorting options, plus duration.
Now, it's important to keep in mind that the title, artist and album sorting options will arrange your playlists alphabetically. In other words, if you select the album sorting option, for example, you'll see your playlist songs sorted by the album title, alphabetically, starting with numbers and special characters and continuing with letters. This is an example:
In the album column you can see they're sorted alphabetically. So, to answer your specific questions, in order to see your songs sorted alphabetically, you should select the title option, since that one will order your playlists by title (the name of the songs):
You can sort songs as mentioned above by @Yordan, or you can also click on Title (highlighted in the image above) to order them by title and alphabetically. Note that you can also inverse the alphabetical order by clicking again on Title, so you'll see the names sorted from z-a.
Now, if you're looking for a specific song on a playlist, you can always use the search tool. You can find it next to the menu in which you can find the sorting options:
Lastly, remember you can sort your Library (the panel on the left) alphabetically:
That option will sort all your library (artists, albums, playlists and podcasts). If you choose filters at the top, you can sort the content on those alphabetically as well. Remember, from the search tool available on the library itself, it's not possible to look for songs per se, but you can look for albums, playlists and podcasts.
Take into account, the sorting options for playlists are not present on the web player. You can sort the Library (the panel on the left) in the web player. You can read more about sorting options here.
Hope this clears things up. If you have any questions or need anything else, the Community is here for you.

Hope this clears things up. Cheers!
