Can't change track order in a created playlist

I have created a playlist in Apple music on my iPhone SE, however when I try to change the order of the tracks it won't save. When I press edit, the three lines appear next to each track and I can move them up and down the playlist to the order I want, however when I press done, the tracks revert to their original order.


Can anyone help?

iPhone SE, iOS 10

I had this problem too, along with many others (songs purchased in iTunes were not showing up in Music, playlist created on one device was not synced to others…). I spent 40 minutes on the phone with Apple support and signed out and into iCloud on my devices, didn't work; reset all settings on my devices, didn't work; hard restart, didn't work.


Solution: After all of that, the thing that finally got everything working as you'd expect was deleting the Music app and re-downloading it from the App Store. Now everything works like a dream.
