Yes, I have "limit to" and "sort by" in most of my smart Playlists. Thanks.

I see the same, to be fixed as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17342

Thanks for reporting!

EDIT: It seems that the issue happens only for "limited" auto-playlists (those where "Limit to" and "Sort by" are combined)
e.g.

[x] Limit to [10] files Selected by [Rating (highest)]
Sort by: Title A..Z

Can you confirm?

FYI: Will be fixed in 2293

MMA is 1.4.1.0937

MM5 is RC1

Which build of MMA and MMW?

Yes it is. Just to make sure, I went into edit playlist and redid the sort and saved. I then synced again, but it still doesn't retain sort into MMA. It is able to maintain the sort in MM5. When I go out of that playlist and back into it within MM5, it is sorted properly. It's just seems to be when it comes over to MMA.

Is the sort saved in MMW5?

I have a smart playlist created in MM5 and sorted on Album, Disc # and Track #. When I sync this playlist to MMA, it does not retain that sort. Seems to be random order. This has to be an issue with MM5 since I never had this problem syncing from MM4 to MMA.
