Q: Sort by disliked songs

I have been using the heart button on my iPhone as a way of flagging songs that I want to permanently delete from my computer. I just noticed that ios 10 now lets me flag my songs with "dislike". But it seems that this is only used for Apple Music (which I don't and will not ever use).

 

Is there a way that I can view my disliked tracks in iTunes so that I can delete them from my collection?  If not, then I guess I'll keep having to use the like button for the opposite reason it was created for.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10, Windows 10 iTunes

    Okay I figured this out by myself.  Here is what I've found, for anyone who may be interested:

     

    The dislike button flags songs with a heart with a line through it.  In iTunes, when you sort by the hearted songs, it puts the disliked songs (with a line through the heart), then the liked songs (with a solid heart), then all the songs that don't have either one.

     

    I found that there is a "Delete from library" button on my iPhone, right above the love/dislike options.  Unfortunately this doesn't actually delete the songs from my hard drive. It simply removes it from my phone.  Then when I sync my phone, it copies all those songs right back onto it.  At least I can flag songs with the "dislike" button now and delete them from my computer later
