Hello,

I have a library dedicated to ‘BBC Radio 1 Essential Mixes’, where this has just under 1500 released tracks.

I have a smart playlist setup to put played sets in one playlist, and keep all unplayed in a separate playlist.

However, unlike viewing by ‘tracks’ where you can sort the list by title, date played, plays, etc, we cannot sort playlists at all.

Is it possible to add the same type of (…) overflow selector to sort tracks in a playlist by title, etc?

Thanks

Smart playlists use the sorting order which was set when they were created.

Thanks for the reply. Will update the smart playlist to reflect my preferred sort.

(We’d like to allow overriding this in the future.)
