Cannot take playlists out of folders on Windows Version

[conved]

Im in Switzerland on a PC with Windows 10 and have Premium.

I cant take playlists out of folders. I can switch them from folder to folder but I cant just take them out of a folder.

I attached a screen shot where you can see them I'm trying to take a playlist out of a folder and drop it into my library but it wont let me

Thanks,

AM

Having the same issue, I can't take my playlists out of a temporary folder I created to split them apart from each other (accidentally happened). Exact same issue your picture shows almost.

Hi all,

I haven't gotten the recent UI update yet, but here's some intel I've gathered from others:

1. Set the filter to Playlists
2. Set the sort order to Custom order.
   
   

You should now be able to drag & drop playlists outside of your folders as well as change their order.

If my answer was useful, don't forget to give it a 'Like!' If my answer was the solution, don't forget to mark it as the solution! Thanks! 😇

Thank you for your reply, I'm still unable to take my folders out of the main folder I had to create in an attempt to separate the other playlists in folders too lol.

You could try to toggle the 'Compact Mode' option in your settings. This will make the sidebar behave most like the old one.

It's only a visual change which I'm not a fan of, I just want to be able to take the folders out of another folder in the end.

Thank you! This solved my problem! Why on earth isn't the custom order the default order anymore?

I actually tried different ways to sort the playlists before reading this solution, but there was no "custom order" option because I hadn't set the filter to "playlists".

It shouldn't be this difficult to sort your playlists in a custom order. It should go without saying that everyone wants to move their playlists.
