How do I rearrange my songs in my playlist?

[#1]

In my mobile app and on the website I can not rearrange my songs in the order I want i can only do it by album or creator and some others but not freely. I know you used to be able to but now I cant

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Spotify Community

In order to re-arrange songs,

Simply open the playlist from My Library > Playlists. Once you are on the playlist page > tap the three dots in the top right hand corner of the screen > click on Edit to make changes. Then long press the 3 bars on the right, and drag each track where you'd like to reorder it.

Hope this helps

There are no dots in the upper right to click on! Am using Android btw

Hi there, @Mstjamesca,

Thanks for joining the thread!

We're currently testing some UI changes for some users, so things might look a little different on your end. Could you give the following steps a try instead:

1. Open the playlist in question.
2. Tap Edit, located in the playlist header, next to the big green Play button.
3. Select & hold the button on the right on a song, then drag & drop it to the desired location.
4. Tap Save at the top right corner to save your changes.

Once edited, make sure to set the playlist sort order to Custom order to view your changes.

Check out the screenshots below for more info:

1. Tap "Edit" to reorder the songs.
2. Use the button on the right to move songs around and press Save at the top right corner to save your changes.
3. Change the sort order to "Custom" to display the songs in the specific arrangement you just set.

If you need further assistance, feel free to share a screenshot which shows how the playlist page appears on your end so we can take a closer look.

More info on how to search, sort & filter in Spotify can be found in this article.

Cheers 🤘

so I want to list songs in my playlist by artist, I have to manually go through a 100+ song playlist to do this?????

Used to be able to, now I can do much less.
