Can't customize order of songs in Apple Music

Other have this issue. And I see some responses / answers. But those answers do NOT work.


Who would make such a POS where the user can NOT drag a song up/down and put it in the order they want? JUNK.

hey ed2345,


a bit dry, but not being completely devoid of GUI ops I got it. The first piece of advice would be (or should have been) "Heya there palski! Didja make a "playlist"?? I know, I know - what a p.i.t.a.! But whatever the case, you must make a playlist. Once done you can do whatever."


Hitherto I was stuck in the wild-wooly days of free PC music apps where you could do whatever. Regardless, based on your dry (very limited) instruction I deduced that "There must be a way and ed12345 mentions a playlist so better make this mass of songs a playlist and go from there."


So thank you, ed2345, you cracked the scales off my eyes. Apple ping-pongs 'tween being brutally simple / easy to use AND way way way too man steps. It's a weird dichotomy that I still have a hard time believing. Like "Ok, really? On a PC that is a simple task. On an Android that is one click. Yet on apple OS / iphone, it's like 50 clicks".


Thanks again and have a nice day!!

Yup, gotta have a playlist and then all is good.

Glad it is working now! Enjoy the music (in the right order, lol).
