Add recently added songs to the top of existing playlists

[williambowater · Accepted solution]

Hello,

To sort songs in a playlist into a specific order on an IOS device, as far as I know, is to follow these steps.

1) Go onto your playlist and click on the button on the top right hand corner.

2) A selection of items should appear - click 'edit'.

3) All the songs in that playist should appearwith a red icon to remove it and another button which you can use to drag the songs into a specific order.

I hope this helps 🙂

If you are on an IOS device (I'm on my iPhone) you can click on your playlist and scroll all the way up to where you see a bar that says "Filter". If you look to the far right there will be a icon with 3 little bars. You can click on that and change how the songs are sorted and if you click Recently Added then it will make all the newest songs added to your playlist at the top. Hope this helped!

Most of my playlists are quite long, and this process is VERY time consuming. I share my spotify playlists with wedding clients, and have many playlists for different times in the evening. I prefer for the most recently added to be at the top, so i dont come accross as a dj that is playing 'old' music. And the good new exciting fresh stuff gets missed at the bottom of a huge playlist!

Yes, there is a way to sort it by either " Recently added . Artist . Title and Custom on your iphone .

1. Click on your playlist

2. Scroll " UP "   as if you were at the bottom of the screen going towards ( the time and percent of your iphone.

3. You will see a search box and  on the right you will see three lines ( dashes )

4. click on it and then you will be able to sort in four different chices.

5. Tell a Freind .

2. go to the very top

3. click the button in the top right. 

4. then press recently added
