Is Reordering Songs on Mobile Playlist Available Only With Premium?

Is Reordering Songs on Mobile Playlist Available Only With Premium?

So I've seen many questions answered saying we can reorder songs on custom playlists both on desktop and mobile, but I have still been unable to do this.  I'm thinking maybe you can only reorder your songs on custom playlist if you have Premium. 

 

I know with a free account you can only listen on shuffle, but I thought you could at least set the order so in case you share a playlist with someone that you could control the order, then it would play either on shuffle or not depending on their subscription type.

 

Can someone confirm this?
