[Android] Rearrange Tracks inside a Playlist

[julianun]

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.

It seems ridiculous that this would be a feature on iPhone, but not Android. Having to delete every song in a playlist to get a song where I want it is insane.

I have to admit I have a hard time conceiving why features available on iOS are not on Android. And we're not even talking of some platform-related UI feature. This is one of the MOST BASIC feature any decent player music could offer. Users have been asking it for years. This very post is almost 4 years old.

We're paying the same subscription than iOS users, for a lesser product. 

Is it part of some sick premium-features-agreement with Apple? Majors?

If not, why don't you just take a few hours from your developpers' time to do it?

Any update, comment, explanation? 2018 new year's resolutions maybe?

Because at some point, the "We've heard you but won't do anything" attitude will backfire...

Guys, there is a sort by option next to the filter bar in your playlists. It works on Androids. You can sort by Title, Recently Added, Artist, Album, Custom. Try it.

Thanks, but I'm pretty sure most people who have commented here are not
just trying to sort by title or release date. We are trying to make
specifically ordered playlists and be able to change those playlists while
not on a computer.

Mine are all set to "Custom" on that menu, as they should be, but if I want
to adjust that order I can't unless I go to a computer or re-create the
entire list in the order that I want it.

This is such a basic feature that Apple users have on Spotify with an iPhone, I can't believe this isn't "in the pipeline". It needs to be!

I've started a subreddit called r/Spotifydoesntcare as I really feel this forum is where people are out who the don't want to hear from.
Pleaee join and add your voice!

LynxLee, please don't underestimate +70 pages of users saying that custom reordering is not implemented, it just makes you look like a fool 🙂 

There are several pages talking about it, you can't reorder songs on a playlist on Android... It makes no sense but it's true. 

Your comment is what we think support people thinks, it looks like it is there but it's not. Make a simple playlist with a few songs and then try to change the order of the songs on Android.

As you said: Try it. And then tell us 🙂

That doesn't have anything to do with what we're requesting.

Hi,

To rearrange the order of songs in an own playlist (and of course to save this) should be a piece of cake! Why is this not working in the Android app??

[JWS1973]

I am truly, truly amazed that this simple function is not available to Android users. Frankly, that's appalling - it should be a default ability - filtering or sorting is NOT the same. The problem is Spotify know so many of us are at their mercy by relying on them for our music catalogue... Surely Android users must account for a sizeable chunk of the customer-base: too sizeable to ignore?? Please Spotify - listen to your users and enable this ASAP.
