Dynamic playlist sorting

[nitinsooni]

Description

If the sorting of a playlist is set to name lets say, and i put another song in that playlist, that song will be placed in the bottom end of that playlist and i have to manually sort the playlist to name again to sort it correct.
Intended behaviour is that playlist should automatically maintain that sorting.

Or maybe just remove that edit button, I mean you can't even rename the playlist with that but only set sorting and its a edit button. Just place something like this there.

(Though that will affect the delete functionality)

Not really keen on changing the sort interface to be honest, not enough space for it at the moment. I am open to making playlist sort automatic though, it's probably a better experience.

I also agree that the edit UI is disjoint, mostly because I don't know where semantically to put the edit button such that it's clear that it will affect:

• The cover (See Playlist images #513)
• The name
• Moving songs
• Deleting songs
• Sorting

i don't think automatic sorting should be the only option - i usually like to sort playlists manually and after a few listens, like with an album, my brain learns the next songs, so having them auto-alphabetically sorted without having an option to turn it off would be undesireable

Thanks for the feedback @KraXen72. I think I'm going to maybe this issue for now and gauge user demand first. I don't think I can have both, the UI would be too cluttered.
