Music Playlist order on iPhone different than MacBook Pro

I have a regular playlist (not a smart one) called "Dance - to be rated" in Music on my MacBook Pro. It is sorted by "Album by Artist", but when I sync it to my iPhone, the order is different. I have tried right-clicking playlist name on my computer and selecting "copy to playlist order" and resyncing, and that did not help. I also tried removing the playlist completely from my phone and then resyncing to put it back, hoping it would appear back in the same "Album by Artist" order, but it's still different! Any other suggestions I should try? Thanks.

It is just a shame that Apple is unable (or unwilling) to implement song sorting functionality in the App like e.g. Spotify does. I can't believe I have to use iTunes on my PC/Mac every time I add new title to sort them in my playlist again.
