Sort playlists as custom

Sort playlists as custom

I  am a man who like to have my things organized. For now, the option for sorting the playlists is either by recently played or added. I want to add the option of arranging the order myself. For someone who have maaany playlists, I have to scroll just to find a list I havent played in a while instead of just having it in the same place all the time and knowing how far to scroll. I dont know why this option was removed since it has been available before, its just weird to me.

Hey @PatrikJakobsson, thanks for asking in the Community! 🎵

 

I checked this on my end, and I can still sort my playlists in the library by custom order. Could you add a screenshot in your response? 🙂

I have the option to originize my playlist customly, but only when I select playlists. However, either way it doesnt work. I don't have the option to drag and drop them all that does is ask me if I want to pin the playlist.

Hi there @cersan,

 

Thanks for joining the thread!

 

Since the mobile app has some limitations, you can set the Custom order you wish to have for the playlists in Your Library in the desktop app instead and it should sync to the mobile one afterwards as well. Just make sure to select Playlists first before sorting by Custom order as seen on your first screenshot.

 

There's also this Live Idea on the topic, which you can check out and vote for to show your support if you want.

 

Hope this helps.

Just like cersan commented I just now discovered that going into "my library" wasnt enough, that you also have to press "playlists" which then makes the option appear. Just seem like a extra step to me thats why I was confused. Although its logical, I think the option should be available by default when you open the app for those who want to access their music that way. Ohwell then its atleast possible, thank you! 

No actually, I realised the reason why I created this thread was because I get annoyed when Im trying to add a song to a list by pressing the + on my mobile app. Then there are only "most relevant, recently added, alphabetical and recents". I have many playlists which I all listen to frequently depending on mood so some playlists are further down than others. This makes it frustrating as I easily miss and scroll past the right one I want to add it to. If I arrange my playlists however I know just how long I have to scroll to find each list and this is the feature im missing.
