Is "custom order" sorting in the playlist for all users or for 1 device?

Solved!

Is "custom order" sorting in the playlist for all users or for 1 device?

I have a playlist and control over it. There are 3 other users (Who also have control). I want to resort my songs, so that we can play it on a custom order, as its our karaoke songs. If I were to spend my next 6 hours sorting the playlist, would it change for everyone or just me? If It's just me, then I wouldn't want to be wasting 6 hours. Which leads me to another question, are those changes permanent and consistent across all my devices?

Hey @Buscus_dude 

 

By default, a playlist is shown in the "custom order" option. The "custom order" option is how everyone else sees the playlist by default. If you use one of the other sorting options such as "artist, album, title, etc" that sort order would only apply for your device that you change the sort order on.

 

If you rearrange the songs in the playlist in the "custom order", then everyone will be able to see that new order. It will update to show that order on all of your devices and it will also show this new order for everyone else.
