Every single media player in the world allows you to sort playlists by various criteria. Sort by artist, album, length and date added; none are possible on Plex playlists. If I want to remove a song from a playlist I have to scroll to find it rather then just sorting by some criteria and finding it easily. Seems this is a request that has been asked for for close to 5 years and never addressed. Smart playlists are NOT an option, I want to create my playlists not have a wonky algorithm do it for me. ---

There is an [existing request](https://forums.plex.tv/t/playlist-sorting-and-searching-feature-request/116089) for this feature. Rather than splitting votes over several threads, it’s best to add your vote/comments there. ---
