Unable to custom sort playlist order

[Spotcommunityuser]

My Question or Issue

When I create a playlist I can select "Sort > Custom order" but I am unable to actually change the order of the episodes. When I click on "... > Edit" there is no option to reorder my playlist. I'm attaching a screen recording showing my problem. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! 😊

Hi @Spotcommunityuser! Thanks for the screen recording.

The option to edit the custom order in the playlist with the mobile app is currently limited to Premium users, I'm afraid, but don't worry - you can do so in the desktop app or the Web Player even with a free account! The changes will be reflected in the mobile app as well.

Hope this clears things up. The Community is always here if there's anything else we can assist with.

Cheers 🙂

Thank you for your reply! Is there any documentation or FAQ link specifying that custom sort is a premium feature? Also, any idea if premium users can also custom sort the podcast playlist "Your Episodes"?

Hey there @Spotcommunityuser, 

Thanks for getting back to us. 

You can check the differences between the free and the Premium version here. 

On another note, Premium users can sort the episodes in Your episodes by Recently saved, Release date and Show name. Also, they can be filtered by Downloaded, Unplayed, Not started and Continue listening.
