How can I manually sort playlists in Apple Music on Mac?

When will Apple add the ability to manually sort playlists in Apple Music on Mac? I currently do this by naming the playlists beginning with a number which causes the alphabetical sort to put them according to that number...

Sorting multiple playlists by recently added descending instead of ascending On Apple Music on MacOS, it’s possible to sort the order of your playlists by recently added, ascending (where latest added playlists appear at the top of your list), or descending (where latest added playlists appear at the bottom). However, on iOS, the default for sorting by recently added is to sort by ascending, with no option to sort by descending. Is there any other way to do this? Or a way to just position playlists in a custom order? NB: This is regarding the order of playlists themselves, NOT the songs within a playlist

This is still the only method, along with grouping content into subfolders. Use Feedback - macOS - Apple to let Apple know you'd like an option for manually ordering playlists.
