Can no longer view playlist by songs' star rating in OSX

Ah, the good old days. I curated all my playlists and Smart playlists in order of star-ratings painstakingly given to favorite songs.

The best star rated songs rose to the top, Five star, then Four star, then Three star, and so forth.

Songs played in that order. I can click the checkbox in Preferences>General and see the ratings, but back in the Library list view, no longer choose how the playlist shows them in order.

That feature appears to be GONE in more recent iTunes releases within Mojave and Catalina.

Choosing view options from menu or right click no longer supports view by rating. WHY?

Did some programming team decide to strip out a highly-useful feature that supports how seasoned users prefer to curate custom and Smart playlists?

I got tier-2 Tech support on the phone and they agreed. Poof. Gone.

PLEASE BRING THIS FEATURE BACK. We had it. We loved it. We still need it.
