Feature description

hi, can we please get an option to sort playlists the way they were before v0.27.0? :(

idk, a tiny button to change the sorting order?

button pop-up

something like this?

0 - tiny button 1 - custom sorting 2 - alphabetical order
0 1 2

it would be better if the "drag & drop" buttons were disabled in the alphabetical order, to prevent accidents:

drag

Why do you want this feature?

the sorting order that was implemented in v0.27.0 is completely bugged, it randomly changes the order all the time and there's no way to sort playlists in alphabetical order anymore.

also, the alphabetical order that we had before v0.27.0 was smart enough to separate different types of playlists.

eg. custom playlists, YT Music playlists, and regular YT playlists were separated from each other.... while the sorting order that we have now treats all of them like the same type and mixes all of them together, making a spaghetti of playlists that doesn't make sense.
