Sorting

[dnemet]

I'd be interested in seeing the ability to sort the default order of master playlists once created. I currently use a different website to sort default playlist order by combinations of artist name, song title, album name, album release year, and track number.

Although at first glance this should be easy, this could in theory add as many hits to the Spotify API as there are songs in a playlist. According to their documentation on re-ordering playlist items, it looks like we would need to first add a song to the end of the list (or all of the new songs at once), then re-order each song into the proper place. If a user added/removed/reordered any songs in the list outside of the update process we would also need to reorder those tracks... this could be beyond the use-case for our approved Spotify API key.

The number of requests to inform Spotify of the changes is just too many.

If Spotify allows us to submit a snapshot of where things should be rather than having to inform them of each move individually, I may look at this again, but until that time, sorting on a schedule for 1500+ users is just not feasible.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway, @dnemet! (Keep 'em coming!)
