How to Sort Playlists in Apple Music

Here’s how to sort a playlist in Apple Music by using the sort function. 

How to Sort Individual Songs in Apple Music Playlists

If you just want to change the order of specific songs in a playlist in Apple Music instead of the entire list, you can do so manually. Keep in mind though moving an individual song will change their saved order in the playlist, not just the way they’re viewed during the current session. You can move songs as many times as you want, however.

Selecting this option when it’s already selected will reverse the order of the songs.Title: Sorts the playlist’s songs alphabetically from A-to-Z.Artist: Lists the songs alphabetically A-to-Z according to the credited performer or composer name.Album: Sorts the playlist’s songs alphabetically A-to-Z based on their album name.Release Date: Sorts songs chronologically newest to oldest, indicated by a down arrow. Select this option again to sort oldest to newest, indicated by an up arrow.
