I am not finding any list that shows player apps that have option of customizing and setting play order on playlists. Off search link you provided does have a link indicating a "best music players" article link but link does not work. Tried same link off different devices. Most apps seem to allow you to set playlist and edit in that it allows to add or remove songs but none I have seen that allow you to set order of songs in a playlist. I have even tried it with adding songs in order I want and even by ratings. None of player apps I have seen allow to put songs in order.

I think playlist sorting is good enough

Since we can have many playlists, and sorts sort, that was good enough for me.

Discussion is to find apps that have option to set song play order within playlist. Sorting playlists....all music player apps do that. Hence not hard to find. Setting song order IS hard to find. For people that work out this is usually important. I should not have to use a mp3 player instead of my phone just to do this.

Something is lost in translation here. Pick a player and I'll look closer.

Where is list?

There is no list of player apps that do this in your response. I cannot find ANY music player apps that do this. Hence initial request for help.

I wanted you to pick one. or two. Then I'll install that on one of my androids so I can see what you are seeing.

Until we are on the same app, we'll disconnect.
