Sorting playlists by order. How to stop it resetting when switching playlists?

[addie]

Use Crates instead of Playlists. Crates will power up on a default, but once changed (i.e. to Key) it will be remembered and you can switch unlimitedly between crates without changing the chosen sort order (so in your case it remains key).

Playlist are always designed to be played in specific play order. For more explanation read the post from the quote below:

@addie

Playlist is in specific order. You decide what’s no. 1, no 2, etc… You normally use it for a fixed set. Crate is a collection of tracks sorted by title, or name, etc… you can for example put genres together, years or charts… just how you like it.

@addie

Also in a crate a file can be used 1 time, in a playlist you can use the same file multiple times (for example when you are doing a game show and need the same tune multiple times). In a playlist you can drag and drop for ordering (when column sorted to #). Crates are unsorted and ordered by the columns.

Although you can sort playlist (now by updates), the base is still Play Order. Crates have the purpose you are looking for
