Stop playlists from automatically updating the order of songs? [#17102]

[The Original G Man]

One of my playlists has about 250 songs that I have saved in a certain order. When I'm in MMW, occasionally I sort them by title, author, etc., in order to find something and on several occasions MM has automatically updated the playlist order, forcing me to have to do the whole thing over again. In the old version, you had to proactively update the order of songs in the playlist. Is there a way to "undo" changes like that? This is becoming quite annoying.

Hi,
I just tested and MM5 do not Auto update Order it just save Sorting order. Make sure that you have # column enabled.

I do have the # column enabled. 3 times in the last month when I've sorted this playlist by artist or title, it has automatically saved it like that. I've been forced to create a copy of the playlist as my backup and whatever changes I make to the original, I have to also make to the backup. Not a great option, but better than recreating the wheel every time it happens.

Since you guys can't duplicate this, my real question then is there an "undo" command that I can use if it happens to me again?

Hi,
An update. As pointed in https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view ... 102#c60274 it is an UI issue order is not actually saved F5 should give you correct order.

Anyhow it needs to be fixed.
