[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.

Please get this added this is a basic feature

Did anyone else spend countless hours trying to find out how to move your
songs? And numerous days googling it? And numerous emails to Spotify asking
for help? I wonder how much money they loose on Android users. I wonder how
many hours Android users loose trying to figure this out.

Make it hurt then.

Raise loads of tickets to their support asking how to do it.

Lots of people, lots of the time.

I think this is an excellent idea!

Everyone email support@spotify.com 

There is also, android-support@spotify.com 

 

Would email them both!

  

I am on Android and would like to know how to re-order songs in my playlists on mobile?

Looks like I can do this on the web, desktop and have a friend with an iPhone who can do this on their phone. Can't seem to find it on the Spotify App for Android? Can you help me?

Totally agree!  They really don't care. Some underlying reason we don't know about for sure.
5 years this has been a topic!

It can't be hard to implement a simple drag and drop. That's 2008 technology.

What's the update on this Spotify? I have been waiting on this for years! A no brainier

Response from support@spotify.com  I will respond kindly to this rep as she seems sincere and the fact that this feature has not been implememented for the Android App, is not supports fault. It is Spotify's Android Product Design Management, and Development's issue to fix! I will simply respond back and ask if 92 pages, 2,491 votes starting in 2014 is enough to get Spotify's attention?

 

Hey Joe,
Thanks for writing back to us. It would be great to organize your songs right?
No worries, it's possible to re-arrange the songs on your playlists! But, here's the catch: you can only do this on the desktop app and on iPhones. So, to reorder your track listing, just click and hold a song to move it up or down. That's it! Tip: For another way to reorganise track listings, check out how to Sort and filter.
On a side note, it looks like other Spotify customers also requests for this feature to rearrange songs on Android. You can add your voice to it by giving it a like! 
Be sure to keep an eye on the status of the idea too, ideas that reach 100 votes are reviewed by the Community team on a monthly basis, and are then passed onto the right folks here at Spotify. 
Previous examples of implemented ideas include Chromecast support, the Xbox app, and the return of the Wrapped campaign.
Note: The Community is currently only available in English.
Let us know how'd it go. If you have any questions, feel free to reply 🙂
