![]() If, for instance, the sorting order you want isn't listed here you can just sort your library in that way and then drag and drop to a new playlist to create a playlist that has the Manual Order set to that original order. So you can do that with a lot of different things. But it will remember this manual order even though I started with a random shuffle. I can now maybe do some fine tuning, some tweaking, maybe I don't want the same group played back-to-back, that kind of thing. If I Edit that playlist and go in you can see it's Manual Order. I now have a permanent listing of those songs in a random order. Now Playlist 2 is what was in my Up Next List but it is now permanent. I'm going to select the first song, scroll all the way down, Shift click to select all of those and then I'm going to drag and drop that into Playlist 2. Now I'm going to go back to the Up Next List. If I wanted to shuffle all these and add them to the Up Next List what I do is hold the Option key down, hit Shuffle All, and it adds them to Up Next in a random order. So here's the Up Next List of what's playing up next. It's not easy to do but you can do it by using the Up Next List. I wanted to shuffle all the songs so they're randomly sorted and then stay in that order. Let's say I wanted to create my own mixed tape. But it's a different random order every time. Well, you might say I'll hit Shuffle and it'll play songs in a random order. What if you wanted to have a random order to your songs. Change the order of these songs because as soon as I go back to Manual Order it remembers the previous manual order and goes back to it. So it doesn't allow me to say sort by name and then edit this order somewhat. For instance, if I put this song here at the top and then I go to Sort by Name, I go back to Manual Order, it remembers the manual order there. But if I do that you can see it actually not only gives me manual control of the order again, and I can drag and drop inside this interface as well to change the order, but it remembers the manual order I was in. So you think this switches back to being Manual Order. I can go back into Edit and you can see I had other options here like Time, Artist, how many loves and how many plays I gave to it. I can see my playlist appears now sorted by name. So say if I wanted this to be alphabetical. I can edit the name, I can edit the image even selecting one, I can add a description, and I can also set an order. What I want to focus here is on the right I see my playlist. I'm going to ignore that because this is for adding new songs. Now on the left side most of the interface here in iTunes I see my library here. You drop it and you can reorder what's there.īut you can also click Edit Playlist. You don't see where it is you're dropping it very well. I can do that but it's a very clunky interface. ![]() ![]() So I take the first song here and just drag it to another position and you see it sticks there. The easiest way to do that is simply drag and drop. That's great but now I want to sort them. I've got all the songs added in the order that they appeared in my list. Now I've got a new playlist here and I'm just going to call it Playlist 1. Then I'm going to create a playlist that just includes all of the ones in the sample library here. I have one selected so I'm going to do Command A to select them All. I'm in songs view here and I can see all my songs. This is using the latest version of iTunes, that's version 12.5.3.17 in Sierra.
