Added tracks to self-created playlists not on top

Plex Labs

When I add tracks to a new manual playlist, an unfiltered playlist, I cannot sort it the way I wish. Manual playlists have not enough filters, in my opinion.
In Spotify, you have the Liked Songs playlist. Once you like a track in Spotify it shows up in Liked Songs. But, there the track then comes to the top of the playlist. <<<
In Plexamp there is no way to do this? Why not?

You can’t sort manual playlists by when the track was added to the playlist.
Any new track added to a playlist automatically comes last and therefore not at the top.
*Only the date the track was added to the library is possible for sorting.
And with filtered playlists, you can’t collect self-selected tracks, only with filters.
So there always will be tracks in you’re filtered playlist which you do not wish to see in there.

Why is it still not possible in Plexamp, to sort self-created playlists by the time of addition to that playlist?

It’s basically the Spotify Liked Songs option that’s missing in Plexamp!
*The rating feature is not the appropriate way for this, this messes up your library for the wrong purpose.

Why not?
Aren’t “liked” songs those with a 4 and 5 star rating?
Why not creating a smart playlist for these? Which can be sorted by “date rated” and thus will be in exactly the order you want.

Yes, I tried that. But I already use the rating feature myself for another way.
Plus, I like to convert my liked songs in Spotify also for Plexamp, so that will be a thousand tracks to manually rate by stars :frowning: , and a sorting function will fix the problem in no-time.
I just don’t understand why a playlist can’t be sorted by order.
I think the Rating feature is really different from sorting a playlist.
Thereby, I am talking precisely about self-made playlists, and not the filtered/smart ones.
