New update - can't create new playlist folder, can't move any playlists

[jim909]

Can't move any of my playlists up or down like I used to. Using three dots or ctrl shift n doesn't create new playlist. Completely user unfriendly.

Hi there! Here are some steps that may fix this problem for you.

1. Set the Filter to Playlists.
2. Set the sort order to Custom order.

You should now be able to drag & drop playlists outside of your folders as well as change their order.

There is also an option in your Spotify preferences to return to the previous view. I believe it is labeled as "Compact Mode."

That worked to reorder playlists, but it still won't let me create a new playlist folder. When I go to the "File" menu and select "Create New Playlist Folder" nothing happens. It used to work, and a new untitled folder would appear i the list that I could rename and drag playlists to. But lately, it just doesn't work. Thanks, John

Figured out a workaround anyway. The File menu doesn't work, but when I right click on a playlist, it gives an option to create a new folder. So all good.
