Can not sort playlist on Ipad

When I click on a playlist, on the Ipad, there is no way to sort the song order! Why can't I see the "title" "album" or "date added" tabs that are shown on desktop version? I have seen other post where you can click on "edit" to allow me to manually move songs around in an order, but for a playlist with thousands of songs, this makes no sense! I like to play in reverse order of date added and not sure how this is possible with an Ipad? Please help!

​​​​​​Hey there @blackironskille!

Thanks for reaching out on the Community.

You should be able to sort your playlists by following the steps below:

1. Open the playlist.
2. Pull down and release to display Filters and  at the top.
3. Tap Sort for sorting options, or  to search for a particular song.

If you don't see that option, screenshots of what you get when you pull down the name of the list while it's open will be very helpful to our investigation as well.

Thanks Elana! That is what I was looking for. But, wow is that hidden! It took me several tries of "swiping down" to get that to even show up. Why not have it clear? Three dots or something where you can find it easily? I'm afraid if I don't use this for a few weeks, I will forget and won't be able to find it again...
