Can't Rearrange Custom Spotify Playlist
-
So I've setup custom Spotify playlists (I have premium) but cannot seem to figure out rearranging the order. I've Googled and it says they can't be sorted/filtered in any way but it's set by default to custom because it's a custom order. Tried it from the app on my phone, Windows, and the web interface. I feel like it must be either something really simple I'm just missing (very possible) or this feature has gone AWOL, which I find hard to believe. Phone is Android also. Nexus 6 to be specific.
Thanks,
A.J. -
Can you drag/drop the songs around inside the playlist?

No, I've tried and it either just plays the song, or does nothing. The options for each song don't even include a "Move Up/Down" option or anything. It's getting irritating!

I'm on version 1.0.38.171 of the Windows desktop app and drag and drop works fine for me. I can't do it on the phone app, it has to be the full Windows app.

Which I also have on my PC at home. Windows 10 Pro x64. Still doesn't work. App is up-to-date.

Sounds like you have column sorting applied. If the playlist is sorted by any of the column headers (Song, Artist, Album, Date, Length), it disabled the custom arrangement function. You will have to click one of those header rows 2 or 3 times to toggle the sort off:
First click: Sort by, ascending
Second click: Sort by, descending
Third click: Unsorted (enables drag-and-drop arrangement) -

Did you follow the steps? Any playlist (that you own/have edit permissions of) can be sorted by the column headers. The "no-sort" type is one of the intervals when sorting by a column.
I am testing it now... I have a playlist that I created and is custom sorted. I changed to sorted by Artist (ascending), sorted by Artist (descending), then back to custom sort. And I can then drag and drop to re-order.
Of course this is all contingent on ownership of the playlist. This isn't a public playlist that you followed or something?

Yes, I tried that and it still won't let me. This is a playlist I created and I have shared it with others but I don't believe it's locked in any way...

@thanksajdotcom You could share it to me and I could try to sort it

Also try creating a new playlist, just add 2 or 3 songs and try drag and drop. If it works, add the songs from your other list.

Add me on Facebook. It's connected through that.
