Title: How to change Playlist's order (move Up or Down) in Playlist view?
Post by: Mount81 on November 08, 2024, 05:15:25 am

Hello!

So I have a couple of Playlists made in the Playlist view, but I can't reorganize them on the list. Simply Clicking+moving+"Move" function doesn't work, it just doesn't do anything.

Is there a solution or proper way to do this?

Thank you!

In the tree on the left, open Playlists, then find the playlist and select it.  You should see the tracks on the right.  Drag and drop to move.

Sorry, but I'm not talking about to move the tracks in the Playlists, rather than moving the Playlists itself in the Playlist order in the left panel order.

All items shown in the tree, including playlists, are displayed alphabetically only.  Presumably you're asking because you would like to change that order - the only way I'm aware of is to rename the playlist with a number prefix to force sorting that way.

CLARIFICATION: all the sub-items underneath the fixed named primary tree nodes are displayed alphabetically only.

Thanks, I will then add numbers before them. But any plans to make this work by manually changing the order (drag & drop), rather than rename them alphabetically?

Hello @Mount81,
I know you want to have your list sorted your way.
Consider this; sort by BPM.
You need to analyse first, but you will be surprised how well tunes segue together using the BPM sort. I do it all the time, and often you cannot see / hear the join.
🎵 Happy listening,

Well it's just a bit controversial, that drag & drop placing works with the track inside a Playlist, but not with sorting the Playlists themselves...

"but not with sorting the Playlists themselves."
erh? mine do.
I have many playlists, in my order, coz they have prefix for example:
01.Sunday
02.Monday

try it yourself...😊

I'm still talking about "drag & drop": the most easiest and handy way, like with the tracks inside a Playlist. (I have already told, that naming "alphabetically" is working for me too, but it's a bit "over-complicated".) If it can work with the tracks, why not whit the Playlists?
