Music app on iOS not sorting

When attempting to sort playlists by “Recently Played”, the playlists fail to arrange accordingly. They just stay in the same order.

Running iOS 16.5 on iPhone 13.

ios 17.1 music app smart playlist crashes when sorted by release date It seems that when using iOS 17.1, the music app will crash if a smart playlist is sorted by release date. Any time after changing to that sort option the playlist becomes unusable. You cannot open that playlist or play the playlist without crashing the app. There is no way to change the sorting at this point either.

songs going to the bottom of the playlist Hello there, I am experiencing some issues for some time with the Apple Music apps on iPhone, Mac and iPad. Whenever I add a new song to the already existing playlist it goes straight to the bottom of it, even though after updating all devices to iOS 16 and macOS Ventura I have chosen the newest to be at the top - "Sort by-Playlist Order-Ascending". Could you please help me solve the problem, as it is frustrating to move every new song by dragging it, thank you in advance!

Apple Music Add to Playlist list empty Hi, when I try adding a song to one of my playlists using the three dots and then ‘add to playlist’ , none of my playlists are shown in the list. The only option available is to create a new playlist. So basic. Yet doesn’t work. One of many terrible bugs in Apple Music app. I am on the brink of returning to Spotify even though they don’t have lossless audio. ps. Works fine on my iPhone 7 on older iOS version but not on my iPhone11 on latest iOS.

I’ve noticed similar posts as mine and not one has had a solution posed to them. Apple either won’t acknowledge this glitch or has no solution to a broken system.
