Changing the order of Songs and of Songs in Playlist

My classical streaming service, Primephonic, was recently acquired by AppleMusic. All of my tracks, playlists and favourites from Primephonic have been integrated into AppleMusic/iTunes. However, the order of my tracks - within the list of songs, within albums and most importantly within playlists - has been jumbled. As I listen to a lot of classical music, where track order is particularly important. Currently it is a mess. I am speaking of my Mac Air. I have reviewed some of the old answers to this issue and none seem to apply with my current software version. Thanks in advance.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Hello laoxiao.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you'd like to change the order of a specific playlist you have. If so, allow us to share some information and steps with you. If you want to sort a specific playlist in the order you want, try following these steps below:

Right-click the name of the playlist in the sidebar of the Music app and click Copy to Play Order. Once you've done this, go to the Menu bar and select View > Sort by > Playlist Order should be checked. If it is, you should be able to manually click and drag each song within the playlist in the order you want.

Feel free to keep us updated on your results. Cheers.
