[iPad] New Update Won’t Allow Reorder Of Songs In Playlist

[user-removed]

Hey, I’m using an iPad Air 2 (IOS 12.2) and the newest update, I think it was either Tuesday 16 April or Wednesday 17 April, seems to have changed they way my playlists work.

I like to keep my songs in a custom order where all the songs by a certain band/artist are in the same place so they’re all next to each other. So I added a few songs to my playlist the other day (after the update) and I see that where it used to say ‘Edit’ when you clicked the 3 dots at the top it now says ‘Add Songs’, and next to all the songs on my playlist, there’s either 3 dots or a green heart, I clicked on the 3 dots to see if there was a move song option on there but there wasn’t, just all the details of the song like Artist and Album and a Remove Song option.

It seems that you can’t reorder songs on IOS anymore, other than the whole Alphabetical, Newest to Oldest/Oldest to Newest filter anymore, and I don’t know if I’m being stupid or whatever and just can’t find the reorder/edit thing, or if this feature has really been taken down.

If there’s a solution, I’d like to know.

Thank you

Hey folks, 

Thanks for reaching out about this. 

@lvntrv, if you're having issues sorting your playlists on desktop, we'd recommend starting a new thread and we'll carry on with the help there. 

Cheers!

Why is it that even with a Premium subscription you can't arrange your lists of playlists with iPads? Why do you still require a lap/desktop?

If you want to reorder them, just sign into Spotify on the web player on safari, google, or chrome, then you can drag and drop them easily to reorder them!

Of course it didn’t help. This is a Spotify related issue, not the device itself. Everyone on iPad getting this. When you select the 3 dots and tap on Edit, there are only options to pick a new icon for the playlist and a new name for it. When you hold a song and move around, it just doesn’t work, even with premium.

I still can rearrange them on my Android device, but not on iOS devices

Hi I have wasted so much time attempting to sort songs in a playlist.
I have premium. Shuffle is turned off. Custom sort does NOT allow me to drag and drop. There is no filter option next to search bar.
