How to Reverse Your iTunes Playlist Order

Share This:

If you’re an Apple Music user, you may have noticed the new sorting options available in the playlists. With the launch of iOS 16, Apple has included the ability to reverse the playlist order. This means that the most recently added songs will be at the top of your playlist, instead of at the bottom.

This is great news for those who like to keep their playlists up-to-date with their latest favorite songs. It also makes it easier to find specific tracks without having to scroll through pages of songs.

The reverse playlist order feature works on any type of playlist including albums, artists, and release dates. This means that you can easily sort your music by artist or genre, for example. You can also sort by title or release date if you’re looking for a specific track or album.

It’s worth noting that this feature only applies to Apple Music playlists and not YouTube playlists. Unfortunately, there is no way to reverse a YouTube playlist so videos must be viewed in the order set by its creator. The only way to change this would be with help from third-party websites or browser plugins.

So if you’re an Apple Music user who likes to keep thir library up-to-date and organized, then take advantage of this new feature and start sorting your playlists in reverse order today!

Reversing the Order of a Playlist

Reversing the order of a playlist can be done with the help of third-party websites or browser plugins.

Once you have access to these tools, you will be able to enter the URL of your playlist and have it reversed in a few simple steps. Depending on the plugin or website you are using, once the playlist is reversed, it may need to be uploaded back into YouTube for it to become available in its new order. It is important to make sure that you read the terms and conditions carefully before using any third-party websites or plugins.

Reasons Why Rearranging Playlists in iTunes Is Not Possible

If you are trying to rearrange your playlist in iTunes and it is not working, it is likely because the sort icon (a little black triangle) is not placed above the left column, which contains the numbers used to reorder your playlist. To fix this, simply click on the space above that column to move the sort icon there. If it is already there and you stil can’t rearrange your playlist, then make sure that no other columns have their sort icons activated; if they do, deactivate them by clicking on them again. Once all of these steps are taken, you should be able to rearrange your playlist as desired.
