Change order of iTunes Playlists
April 28, 2010 1:21 PM Subscribe
In iTunes, how do I arrange the order in which my playlists are arranged? The default is alphabetical, how do I arrange them in my own chosen order.
For example, I would like my playlists to be listed in the order they were created, starting with the most recent. So when I want to drag a song to a new playlist I'm working on, I can easily find it at the top of the list. As opposed to cleverly naming the playlist so that it is at the top.
NOTE: this question is not in regard to the song order inside playlists.

Best answer: Wabbitt has it wight. I do a combination of both of those.

I also do a combination of those; I have playlists beginning with 00 that I want to stay at the top of each list, and 01, 02 etc. below that. In my 'monthly' folder there's YYMM hierarchy.
It's a hack but it works well enough.

Response by poster: Thanks for the replies. I usually do a version of this, was just curious if I was missing an obvious option to list the playlists in different ways.

Response by poster: I just noticed in the above screenshot there are folders in the playlist window. Can someone advise how to do this?
