Use View > Sort By > Play(list) Order or in the Songs view of the playlist sort on the leftmost column of digits.

Manu,
OK, got it. Interestingly, there is not (and has never been, in decades of iTunes/Music) a way to do that. You can sort of hack it by prepending digits or letters to the playlist names, as in example below, if it is worth the trouble.
By "the way I want" I mean "manually".

Manu,
Use either of the 2 options provided by tt2. You will then be able to manually move tracks up or down the playlist via drag-n-drop.
Thanks to you both but what I’d love to manually sort are the playlists themselves, not the tracks on them. I refer to theplaylist list. It can only be sorted automatically 😔
