Rearranging Playlist display order

Post by aperryoboe »

Is there a way that I can order the list of Playlist?

Right now the are all in alpha-order.

Hopefully my question makes sense.

No, there is no manual sorting for Playlists. So the only option is to rename Playlists according to the desired sort order (like 001 Playlist).

Hi Lowlander,

If I display a Playlist using the Browser view and click on a column e.g. Title to sort. Then I press Alt+F5 it saves the new order.

Is this feature only available in the Gold version?

It sounds like your sorting the content of the Playlist instead of sorting the list of Playlists. The former is possible, but the latter isn't.

Hi Lowlander, yes correct I am sorting the content of Playlists.

My Playlists are sorted by - typically - Artist Name. I used $ as a prefix for Playlists of Collections and £ as the prefix for Auto Playlist - just so things are grouped well etc.

Yes, you can sort the contents of a Playlist. You can do so with drag & drop or sorting on columns. For the latter you need to save the new order.

For AutoPlaylists there is no manual sorting, and sorting is set in the Playlist criteria.
