Hello Tangolebanon,


Based on the forum this was posted in, these steps on how to edit a playlist from Create, edit, and delete playlists in iTunes on PC - Apple Support may offer some insight:


Edit a playlist
In the iTunes app  on your PC, select a playlist in the sidebar on the left and do any of the following:
1. In the iTunes app  on your PC, select a playlist in the sidebar on the left.
2. Do any of the following:
• Rename the playlist: Select the playlist name at the top of the window, then enter the new name.
• Change the order of items: Choose View > Sort By. When you choose View > Sort By > Playlist Order, you can reorder items by dragging.
• Remove an item: Select the item and press the Delete key.
If the deleted item is already in your library, removing it from a playlist doesn’t remove it from your library or storage device.


If you are using a different device, or are experiencing something unexpected, if you can provide some details, other users here may be able to offer suggestions.


Also, if these are playlists created by others, you most likely would not be able to change the order.


Have a good day.
