[slinkelist] Cannot sort in playlist grid

[Jonathan Scott]

The issue here is not with wanting to play the playlist in column order - I
agree that it would be a bit odd to want to do that. I would like to be able
to sort the view to make it easier to review the playlist, particularly to
remove unintended duplicates.

Thanks

Jonathan.

this has come up a number of times. the playlist is not sortable. the way 
the data is modeled now, if you did sort the playlist, it would no longer 
play the items in order, which would be very confusing. our sort feature 
sorts the view you are looking at, not the underlying data. in the playlist 
case, I think you would need to sort the underlying data so that it plays 
in that order. personally, I'm not sure why you would ever play songs in 
alphabetical order or in order of playing time, etc.
