Sometimes the order of the albums in a playlist is important. If I create the playlist on my laptop in a specific order and I want to listen to it on my smartphone in that order, I can't because the albums suddenly appear in alphabetical order. How can I avoid that?

Let me know how it goes, as well as if you have any other questions.
Have a good day!
