Editing Playlist Song Order Broken

[eswanson17]

I'm a premium subscriber using Spotify on my iPhone and iPad Pro. Ever since the last update, I'm no longer able to edit and sort songs within a playlist (even with the filter set to custom). Since the update, the edit function just has a pop-up window that allows me to delete but not to move songs up or down within the playlist.

EDIT: Deleted and reinstalled the app and I am able to edit.

Hey @eswanson17 and thanks for posting! 🙂
Sorry to hear you are having some issues with sorting ... hopefully I can help with sorting it out! 🙂

Just to confirm the technical piece - are you running the latest update for 8.5.30.635? (This can be found in the About section of your Settings).
If so, the option to move tracks is still part of the update. On the right side of the edit menu, there are 3 bars that if you press and hold it allows you to drag up and down in the list.
Feel free to let me know if this doesn't resolve it and I'll see what else I can do.

Have an amazing day! 🙂

Hi Bethany,
Thank you for your suggestion. I was able to delete the app and reinstall and it seems to be fine now.

I have deleted and reinstalled app. I've tried everything. I'm. premium user and Spotify will let me add or delete songs on my playlists. Won't let me rearrange them. The little space on the right that allowed me to drag and drop is gone. I can rearrange in the playlist cue, but the playlist is still locked and won't change.

Same here. No lines to the right and to rearrange. What is happening?

SInce the option to sort songs manually seems to have been removed since the last post from 2019, shouldn't this thread be moved to open instead of solved again?

Very misleading to search for this option only to find a "solution" that doesn't work.
