How to manually sort playlists in iTunes?

Okay so I know you can manually sort songs within a playlist on iTunes but I wanted to know if you could manually sort the order of the playlists. It just defaults to alphabetic order which is annoying because I don't want them in that order...Is it possible to do this? Thanks!

No you cannot.
To sort them, you need to rename them.

    I had the same question. Someone answered perfectly here https://discussions.apple.com/message/20575126#20575126
    The answer was click View > Show sidebar. Devices and playlists will display in the left sidebar once again. Copy playlists into iPod as usual.

  • Sorting playlists in ITunes 10

    I just downloaded ITunes 10, and when I was making the artwork larger in one of the playlist, I accidentally sorted by album name. In this list the track numbers are from the original albums, but that's not how I want them to go in the playlist (eg, I'd want to play track one of an album, then track five, then track two, then track four of a different album. I've tried all the sort options and none of them make it how I want it. It did let me click and drag the tracks at one point, but I don't know how I did it. Is there any way to organize the playlist the way I want without changing the track numbers on the original albums?

    I searched and searched for an answer, didn't see one, but sorry if this is a duplicate: Finally figured out how to undo sort by name/title/artist/etc columns after accidentally hitting the Name field and freaking out that there isn't an 'undo' option in iTunes! To get my playlist back to normal, what I did was sort my playlist by something I didn't need like 'play count'. Then right click at the top where the play count column title was. You will see all column options listed. Uncheck 'play count'. Walla, my playlist was back to normal!! phew...

    how to sync existing playlist to itunes

    Hey HalSF,
    iTunes allows you to sync music with your devices in several different ways, including by playlist. See the iPhone user manual for how to -

    Specifically page 19.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How to recover a playlist on iTunes 12?

    I accidentally deleted a playlist of mine when I wasn't paying attention and going for a song to delete.
    I have checked other Questions and they all relate to iTunes 11 not 12, I have tried importing the iTunes Music Library.XML file again, which brought up a lot of old playlist I hadn't seen in ages but not the deleted one.
    I still have the playlist on my phone and can stopped it from syncing so it won't get wiped and have done a "Back up".
    On the iTunes 11 questions I saw that you can right click on the playlist whilst in the device or file menu and export it, in 12 I can't see that option in either.
    Anyone know how to export a playlist from your iPhone on iTunes 12, or how to get the "Back Up" to import playlist from that?
    It took me days to create :/
    Thanks

    That's the way I'd do it. However, it's still easy enough without the Sidebar visible by default. Click on the Playlists button on top, which will bring up a Playlists Sidebar. (That seems to be the Apple Way: limit the choices depending on what "View" you're in. My feeling is that in many cases, less is less. It's confusing and user-unfriendly.)
    Besides the right-click method, which is the easiest, one can also select a Playlist and click on File > Burn Playlist to Disc from the top menu, or click on the gear icon at the bottom of the Sidebar, then choose the burn option.
    In its infinite wisdom, Apple has decided that so few people burn CDs nowadays that the function doesn't deserve its own icon to make the process obvious. If I were the UI designer, I would have made a clickable CD icon appear at the top when a blank CD is inserted.

  • How to manually remove artwork in iTunes 12.0.1?

    Hi,
    I want to remove the artwork from an album. In the previous versions of iTunes, one could simply go to the info page and click the artwork check box and the artwork would be removed. In iTunes 12.0.1 there is not this option. Even if you try to right click on the songs and select "Clear Artwork" it doesn't do anything.
    Does anyone know how to manually remove artwork in this version of iTunes?
    Thanks so much,

    The iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the center of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

  • How do you sort video in itunes

    in itunes you have the video section then you have 4 subsections Movies,Music Videos, Podcasts, and Tv Shows.
    How do you sort the different video in itunes from all vidoes to those subsections

    ben7072 - I just found this on the discussions board: "Under View Options in the View menu, check the box that says Artist. Then rearrange your shows by Artist instead of Show."
    It does work. Obviously, the Artist needs to be the same a Show for it to truly fix our problem here... this is the case for me.
    I'd still like to know what the real problem is though...

  • How do I sort music in iTunes when played from iPhone?

    Okay, so I've been using my iPhone to basically carry music around and play it on different computers, right?  Just turn on manual sync and then I can play music on iTunes straight from my music library without needing to have it in my computer's iTunes library.  The problem is that all the music is out of order, and the column headers at the top that should be clickable to choose how you want the music to be sorted are all greyed out and unclickable.  What I want is for my music to be sorted by Album Title followed by Track Number.  Used to be that it was sorted by Artist then Track Number, which usually ended up okay as long as the album only had one artist.  But recently, iTunes just completely arbitrarily changed itself to sorting by Song Title, which is screwing everything up.  Since the sorting order can obviously be changed, how do I get iTunes to sort the music from my iPhone in a sensible fashion?

  • How to copy a playlist from iTunes to a USB (keeping artist song name etc) and the files to listen and browse in a jeep hard drive

    I made a music playlist on my iTunes, perfectly ordered. I get a car with a USB input to get the songs in the car hard drive, My question is: How can I copy the playlist (with artist, song etc) with the music file (but with the name and artist instead  of the file name) in the usb so I can copy it and browse it in my car?
    Thanks

    This would require renaming the files on the computer.
    iTunes is not going to do this magically when copying files to the flash drive, iTunes does not even copy/sync files to a flash drive.

  • How to manually backup iPad to iTunes now that iCloud is working?i

    Now that iCloud is backing up my iPad finally, I would still like to do a manual backup to iTunes. Can someone provied the details of how to do this correctly? I assume I still have to tether it to my iMac. I'm confused because It looks like it is still backing up to iTunes as it did before but I seems some people using right click on iTunes Icon and so on, so need to get the correct procedure. Thanks

    You cannot backup to iCloud and to the computer at the same time if that is what you are asking - in other words if you are looking for a way to always have "backup to iCloud" enabled and "Backup to this computer" enabled - both at the same time - you can't do it.
    There is no way to set it up so the whenever you backup - you backup to iCloud and the computer at the same time - simultaneously that is. Does that answer your question?
    I thought the OP was asking how to switch between the cloud and the computer for backups but maybe I am wrong.
