Hi, maybe I’m just blind but I’ve noticed that there’s no options to sort the items in a playlist unless I want to manually sort a single item. Is it possible to add a feature to be able to sort a playlist items by Artist, Year release, Album, or Title, or anything else?

Need to be able to search and sort playlists (no, not using smart playlists).
Given it’s been 10 years since this was opened, I assume it will never happen, but I’ve recently abandoned streaming and this is pretty rough.
Large playlists are unmanageable without this basic feature. Really makes Plex useless for managing one’s music collection. The non-responsiveness of the company is baffling, I guess the maintainers must all be happy with the AI elevator musak they’re being served by Spotify.

I mostly use playlists to hold an entire discography by a given band & all related solo works/side projects.
For example, I want a “Genesis, etc.” playlist that holds all the Genesis albums but also the Peter Gabriel albums & other solo stuff by Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks etc.
When I look at the playlist I created, it’s just a list of thousands of individual tracks that aren’t in any meaningful order. You’d think at the very least they’d be in the order they appear on the albums when they’re sorted chronologically as they are in my main library, but no. Completely random.
Personally, I need to see the complete albums, preferably sorted by Album Artist.
I guess playlists are broadly designed for gathering together a bunch of tracks for certain occasions like being at the gym, out running, driving, etc. but their usefulness could be massively extended with a few more options.

Bumping this request. Clearly there’s support / interest given the ongoing thread beginning so long ago

I like to listen to full albums in track order. If I want to move an album around, I have to drag and drop individual tracks.
We should at least have an option to multi-select so that we only have to watch the slow drag rate once per album instead of for every track.
A decade later and we still need a better way to manually sort the songs listed in a playlist.
Sorting is one of the first functions taught to programmers. It is a basic function of app design.
Still very much wanting this.
can we make this happen 10 years later please?
Well that was a lie.
