I cannot understand why I still cannot easily sort my playlists in various orders. I’d like to sort them by date added so I don’t have to scroll through my entire playlist to reach my my recent songs, and I’d like to play the songs from most recently added to older. I understand I can create a queue and drag songs into an order, by why not just implement playlist-sorting like Tidal does? It’s 2024, ffs.
You can sort the tracks by Date Added; click on the gear icon at the RHS, enable Date Added to add the column, then click on the column header to sort by it. Then Play Now will play in the order shown.
The problem I have is that many tracks in my playlists don’t seem to have a date added value.

In my playlists those dates are dates added to my library, not dates added to my playlist. This means there are at least two scenarios where there will be no date. 1) The track has been added to my playlist but not my library. 2) The track has been added to my playlist and my library but is unavailable (because of licensing changes at my streaming partner). There may be other scenarios.
Playlist improver may help with scenario 2 by finding an alternative available track.
This doesn’t seem to be right. I would say the vast majority of my playlists, especially roon playlists and daily mixes fall under scenario 1) so date added sorting has never really worked. Where there is no date added to library there probably should be at least a date added to the playlist.

Same for me, you cannot sort tracks in playlists by date added, which is bad, especially favorites playlist, both in roon and in imported from Tidal. In Tidal and other streaming software this is my most important sorting, disappointing programming by Roon…

That’s not quite what I said. Maybe the details of your case are different to mine? What I said was I can “sometimes” or “partially” sort by date added. It depends on the playlist on a case by case basis. Are you unable to sort by date added at all? Have you enabled the option? You should be able to do at least some sorting, just not in every scenario.
The „date added“ column refers to the date when the track was added to the library, not the playlist. While this can be interesting, it’s not obvious and a date when added to the playlist would often be helpful, too. There are lots of existing feature suggestions for this:

What does thIs say. Is there something that is not clear to you?

I didn’t read your post and I didn’t reply to you because just a week ago you asked me to put you on ignore. I did and so I had no idea what you wrote. Not sure why you forgot all about that.
