How do I change the order of songs within a playlist? I believe I used to be able to order songs within a created playlist in any order I wanted. However, I can't find that feature now within Apple Music. I'm currently running iOS 16.1.2 (the most current version at this time). I can see how I can sort a playlist by a variety of options, but I would like to create my own order. I have also tried editing the order in the desktop browser version of Apple Music and there are even less options there to edit a playlist.

reordering songs in a playlist I tried to follow the previous instructions about going to a spot on the playlists to a drop down menu, but my my menu doesn't contain any of the items that yours showed. It only shows things such as Play Next, Play Later, Uncheck Selection, Open in New Window...is there somewhere else I can locate the choices that you show, so I can move songs up or down?

Make sure you are set for View > As Songs. Then View > Sort By > Playlist Order.

That will allow you to drag songs up or down to re-order.

Alternatively you can click above the first column (the one with the numbers 1, 2, 3, etc.)
