How can I change the order of songs in a playlist?

I have shuffle  turned off. Seems like it shoudl be the simplest thing in the world to do, but I can't click and drag songs to change the order.

Never mind, finally figured it out. All the advice says to click on the left-most column, but it's actually the second column from the left (the first one, in mky version of iTunes, is the album list.)

  • Ipad2, iOS 8.1.2, how do I change the order of songs in my Playlists?

    I Have an iPad 2, using iOS 8.1.2. i can't seem to change the order of songs in my Playlists in the Music App. I've clicked on Edit, and tried moving the 3 lines on the right up/down, but when I press Done, the changes have not been affected. Can anyone advise, please? I'm sure I'm missing something!

    It sounds like you are doing it correctly. That method works for me in iOS 8.1.2
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iDevice?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).

  • How can I change the order of songs in a smart playlist?

    Hi there,
    I have a question about smart playlists.
    I have a smart playlist where all songs rated 5 stars are ordered in descending order, meaning the latest additions first. That works well in iTunes and I can rearrange the songs there without a problem.
    But when I start the iPod on my iPhone the order of songs in this playlist is always the same. In my case the latest songs are always put last no matter how I sort the songs in iTunes. I tried to delete and create a new smart playlist but the result is always the same.
    Is there a solution?
    Thanks for your answers....

  • How do I change the order of songs in a playlist?

    I know that I used to be able to drag songs to a different order in my iTunes playlists, but tonight, no matter the order that I add the songs to the playlist, or Smart Playlist, the order of the songs is alphabetically arranged, and the only other option is to click on "name" but then it just does reverse alphabetical order.
    Is something different, in a recent iTunes upgrade?  I'm a music teacher and I am trying to put the songs in the order that my students will be performing them next week, so this is driving me crazy tonight!!!!
    Thanks so much for sharing wisdom on what I am doing wrong!

    Do you have other choice selected in "View Options"?  Try turning on columns for album, artist, etc. if they aren't on and see if you can sort by those.  The other thing to try is to make sure you are viewing by List, not cover flow or another choice.  iTunes selects Album Artist by default and that can really make it hard to get things to group properly.

  • How do I change the order of songs in my playlists?

    It used to be a simple as click and drag, but now it's seems impossible.  I'm really frustrated with the is dang machine to the point of putting a coffee cup through it and buying a pc.  I'm running iTunes 11.4

    Hello there bcourtney,
    If the track you are dragging will not stay in the place you are trying to drag it to and seems to snap back, it seems to me that the playlist this is happening on is a Smart Playlist, rather than a standared Playlist. The standard playlist can be sorted in this way in iTunes 11:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Create a playlist
    Edit a playlist
    Select the playlist and do any of the following:
    Drag the songs into the order you want. If you can’t drag a song, click the column heading above the numbers.
    Looking at the Smart Playlist article it does not have that same drag and drop sorting function.

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How can I change the order of the songs listed in a playlist?

    How can I change the order of the songs listed in a playlist?

    Hello Pokerplayer62,
    In order to update the order of items in your playlists on the iPod Nano, you have to update them on the computer, and then sync the updated playlists to your device.
    From the iPod Nano User guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_us/ipod_nano_features_guide.pdf
    To set iTunes to update iPod nano automatically with selected playlists:
    Open iTunes and select iPod nano in the Source list. Click the Options button and click Music.
    Select “Automatically update selected playlists only.” Select the playlists you want.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

    How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

    Kay,
    If you are looking at the entire music library ("Music") you can sort by any of the columns by clicking the column header.  If there is a column you can't see, enable it by going to View > View Options.
    Within a playlist, you can do the same, and in addition you can click above the column of sequence numbers, which will then allow you to drag tracks up or down to get any order you wish.

  • How can I change the order of phone numbers in a contact?

    I have contacts that have more than one phone number (I am sure we all have those in this day and age). The importance of the phone numbers varies over time and I want to have the most important one as first on the list. How can I change the order that phone numbers are displayed within a contact?
    Thanks for any help.

    Currently, the order in which the phone numbers appear (in a contact) is dependent on the sequence to which you enter them. There is no way to change that order other than re-entering them in the desired order.

    On my old PC, I could change the order of my bookmarks just by clink & drag. On the MAC, this does not happen. How can I change the order & how can I delete unwanted bookmarks???

    You can do that in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).

  • How can I change the order SubVIs are loaded?

    Hello,
    I have a SubVI which needs to be called before any other SubVI. I tried to put that SubVI in another VI which again calls a second SubVI with the rest of the application:
    MainSubVI  --- call ---> 'Need-to-be-loaded-first-VI'
                |
                '- call ---> 'Start-VI'
                                 |
                                 '- call ---> 'Rest-of-application-VI'
    The problem is that there is one SubVI - saved in 'Rest-of-application-VI' - which is loaded before the 'Need-to-be-loaded-first-VI'.
    How can I change the order SubVIs are loaded?
    Thanks,
    Johannes

    Hai,
    If you wish to load the VI into memory or block the VI from loading the memory immediatly after the parent VI loads....Use "Call by referance Node" with call setup as "Reload for each call" which will load theVI into memory only when the VI is supposed to execute.
    With regards,
    JK

  • How do I change the order of songs?

    Hi,
    I have iTunes 9.0 (70) and I have my songs chosen in order by artist. I forgot how to change the order of songs.
    I tried switching the songs categorized by the name of the song. That didn't work.
    Please let me know how to drag and drop a song correctly. I just want to move one song by the same artist to a different spot in the queue.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I used to be able to do that left column thing, but it won't work.
    First of all, there are no numbers in that left column (not sure that matters or why that is). There's just an arrow at the top facing to the left with blank spaces beneath it.
    When I click on the left column, all that shows up is the cover art for the albums, and the list is changed the order of each full album. I still can't drop and move.
    Sorry I don't know how to attach a screen shot of this. Hope I described it okay.
    I'm wondering if there's a drop down menu item that needs to be changed or something.
    Thanks so far for your help!
