trouble sorting playlists

Solved!

trouble sorting playlists

I want to sort my plalists, and I'm trying to following the instructions here:

 

https://support.spotify.com/us/learn-more/guides/#!/article/sorting-and-filtering

 

I have no problem opening the playlist I want to sort, but I don't know how to:

 

"Pull down and release to display the sort button () at the top."

 

With the playlist open, I seem to have two views. One has the name of the playlist and three horizontal lines that are all the same size on the top left and has three dots at the top right. The other view shows three horizontal lines at the top right and shows the album art in the middle. I can't seem to find the sort button anywhere. 

 

I'm using the latest version of Spotify on a Nexus 5x. Can someone please help me?

Hi there, whilst on the first screen (the main playlist screen with the hamburger menu on the top left and the 3 dots on the right... this should then list the tracks in the playlist and have the big green shuffle button as well as the playlist artwork. 

 

From this screen whilst at the very top of the track listing just put your finger anywhere near the centre of the screen and leave it on the screen, now with your finger still on the screen pull it down towards the bottom of your device. You will see the filter option appear and to the right of it 3 horizontal lines of different lengths; tap this to enter the sort menu.

Wow, that's an incredibly subtle thing. It took me a bunch of tries before I was able to do what you were suggesting. Thanks so much for walking me thorugh this!

Agreed it is hidden and you wouldn't know it's there unless you accidentally came across it or was told about it. Definitely something which should be made easier to access or at least better advertised
