Solved! Go to Solution.
Unfortunately there's no way to do this and, from a quick scan of the ideas topic, it's unlikely to be implemented. However, there is an easy work-around which you can use on the dektop client.
Sort a playlist in your preferred order then select all the tracks and add them to a new playlist. This way, the order will be preserved in the new playlist and the original list can be deleted.

I figured it isn't likely to be implimented =/ That work around is a good idea though, thanks for the idea =]
How do you sor playlists? I would love for mine to be in alphabetical order instead of order of creation.

If you want to put posts in alphabetical order, go to the desired playlist and select "Track" on the desktop client (the first title above the first song in your playlist). 1 click=alphabetical a to z, 2 clicks=alphabetical z to a, 3 clicks=back to normal. When you come back, it should still be how you last organized it. Hope that helps! 🙂
Unfortunately this sort_and_copy_to_a_new_playlist solution doesn't seem to work on a new 1.0.1.1060 build on PC 😕
There is a solution. When you click a collumn heading to sort it according to the collumn contents, just press it twice more so the up/down arrow disappears. At that moment the list is back in it's original order
You can do this since 2015:

On the mobile and tablet app, you can sort:
Here’s how:
Tip: There’s also an option to sort by Custom. This is the list’s default view. If you created the list, you can manually reorder this. Check out the steps to sort songs and playlists for desktop above, or how to Create and edit playlists.
That worked. You're awesome 🙂
You're welcome!
Would really like this to work on the web version, but it doesn't...
