How do I change the order of the songs on a playlist.  The songs seem to have rearranged themselves.

    Well at the top of your playlist where it says "Name,Time,Artist,Album,Etc..." there is an arrow beside the sync or not to sync check mark. If you click on it, your playlist should go back to when you created the order of the playlist. If that doesn't work then click on the different selections like "Name, Etc..." and that may revert the order.

     

    ~Thanks~

    When viewing a playlist the left most column of numbers is the Play Order. If you click the heading of this column then it should restore the previously defined order. You will also be able to drag tracks up and down the list. If you decide to sort on another column heading, say Album by Artist, you can right-click the playlist name and then click Copy to Play Order to ensure the new order is copied to any device that syncs with the library.
