[Android] Rearrange Tracks inside a Playlist

On my iPod I can manually move my songs around that are in my playlist, but I can't do the same on my phone which is what I mostly use. It would be easier to have that option on all devices.

Hey!

 
The Spotify Community team here.
 

We're pleased to confirm that this feature should now be available to all Android users.
We'd recommend double-checking that you're running the latest version of Spotify.
 
Once again, thanks for showing your support here in the Community.

Thought I was just being stupid! How is this not a feature?

Why can't we rearrange our songs on our playlists? One would think that this is a feature people would already be able to utilize, whether or not a person is on the web player or the app. Given that this is such a popular app, I find that this is really disappointing. When will we be able to rearrange the songs on our playlists?

So I saw Spotify is at Wall Street stock exchange now. Congratulations. So do you think now that you are amongst the biggest companies in the world you can find an employee capable of giving android users this basic function?

Doesn't really matter for me as I'm happily using Deezer premium. I just find it strange such a fancy company would lack this basic functionality on their app.

Premium user for over 2 years. The only real gripe I have with Spotify is this inability to reorder tracks on your mobile device (android in my case). Is this really a difficult fix to add? Would be a great addition and just make it more user intuitive. Highly frustrating having to log in on desktop to have to do this.

Rearranging playlist order in an app built around playlists would seem pretty fundamental to using the app. This is the same behaviour we witnessed with apple itunes years back. Dominance in the field led to arrogance. Remember not being able to delete an album and having to remove tracks one by one? Eventually customers arent listened to and abandon the platform.

 

Thankfully Tidal on Android has this feature, and also a richer database of info about the music.

Anyone wanting to re_order playlists on Android? Search for 'playlist manager' on Google play. Works for me. 👍

Hallelujah there is a light at the end of the tunnel 🙌 even if it is third party it still does the job fine and I can now reclaim my sanity

Found a free app that circumnavigated spotify's inadequacy of  being able to edit playlists on Android. Downloaded an app called 'Managr for Spotify' and works excellently. Edits and rearranges playlists effortlessly. Would recommend , until the dipsticks at Spotify sit up and listen to it's fee paying customers.
