Alphabetical Playlist issue

Hi All,

Is there a way to auto put your playlists in Alphabetical order ??

I use ext Hds and spend hours putting them in correct order down the left hand side, as every time i re plug in my ext hd to add tracks they have all moved again so A can be next to S etc its so annoying. On the tracks in the main window there are tabs at the top to do this but nothing for alphabetically sorting playlists ???

Hope I make sense Thank you

Hi, are you talking about on the device itself or on your laptop using the desktop software?

You should be able to sort by artist on either and it will put them in the right order, it sounds like you have them sorted by date added.

Hi,

Left hand column “Collection” folders or “playlists”.

The right hand column has tabs for artist title bpm key etc but there is no such in the collection columns.

When i put in my ext ssd after it has run through its sequence, the playlist sub folders have all moved out of alpha order ???

Sorry I’m not clear on the issue you’re having then, hopefully someone else can chime and help.

Well…I can help out very well. I have spent hours solving this with Rekordbox support years ago, and now I started out being enthusiastic about Denon, but this really screws it up for me again.

Why don’t you guys understand it’s impossible to play from playlists if they are all in a messed up order?

I import my playlists from an iTunes.xml.

  1. I cannot sync that, so if I change it in iTunes I get leftovers in EngineDJ
  2. No way to sort the playlists so it’s a real HELL to remove duplicated
  3. It’s a real hell to sort them alphabetically manually

It would just help if I could select all playlists to remove them, but still…the time lost is badass stressful if you decide to change something just before you have a performance. It’s like burning CD’s all over again.

Embedded playlists would be a very good idea too.

You guys have to start thinking like DJ’s do. Engine DJ seems to be the engine of a Lada (Car from the Soviet Union from long, long time ago).

Let’s hurt you a little…a picture says more than a thousand words.

Oke. I found a work around. Not a real solution, but export to Rekordbox.xml and than import the loaded Pioneer Rekordbox Recordbox.xml does a little better a job. Still makes me wonder how you chaotically mess up a perfectly fine list…
