I've created a Smart Playlist which has the filter: 'Date Added' 'Is in the Last' '14 Days'. However, the films in the playlist are sorted by alphabetical order. Is there any way to get the films to display in the order of the date that they were actually added?
TIA
Mac Studio, macOS 12.6
Thank you for clarifying. The options to edit a playlist on your Mac in the Apple TV app are listed in the following guide:
Manage your library in the Apple TV app on Mac
1. In the Apple TV appon your Mac, click Library.
2. Select the playlist in the sidebar and do either of the following:
Change the playback order of items: Drag the items into the order you want.
Remove an item: Click the More buttonthat appears with the item, then choose Remove from Playlist.
Removing an item from a playlist does not remove it from your library or storage device.
Hope this helps!
Have a great day.

Take care.
Thanks, but my question was about the TV app, not the Music app. Under 'View'in the TV App, there is no option for 'Date Added'. Seems to me like a pretty big oversight that you can create a Smart Playlist where the criterion is 'Date Added' is 'In the Last' n 'Days', but then you can't sort that resulting Smart Playlist according to 'Date Added;'.
Aaah, riiight… I’m talking to bots…
MacOS TV App 'Date Added' Defaults to Alphabetical Order
