Apple Music adding songs to the beginning of a playlist

Ever since about a month ago, Apple Music has been flipping my playlist order without actually reversing it. So when I add new music it gets added above the music that was added when the playlist was created. This is not isolated and it has been happening weekly to multiple playlists. The only solution I have come up with is copying and pasting the reverse order into a new playlist then using that one until it flips again. I haven’t changed anything that would do this as far as I know. Here is a screenshot:

This is happening account wide. Any help would be great

This isn’t the issue. The issue I’m having is that SERVER SIDE my playlists are being flipped. AKA the most recent song is being put at the beginning and the oldest song in the playlist is showing as the most recently added.


This is noticeable because when I add new music it gets added to the front of the playlist where the oldest song on the playlist is. I am not having issues sorting the playlists, I am having issues with server side playlist order sorting.


TLDR: The playlist order is flipping server side without me sorting differently so the song order gets jumbled on my end (client side).
