Hi,
the manual sort is a bit different to the sqlite sort where you can sort on multiple fields. If you want to sort the files manually you can use an existing field such as the Tagline which is not used for music and put a value in there then select to sort the playlist by Tagline and that will give you the order you want. So the Tagline would have 1 for the first song and 2 for the second and so on.

Hi,
I support the idea of multi-level sort criteria (or custom hierarchical sort criteria) presented by TheAndyMac.
I have multi-CD albums where files (tracks) are in separate folders like CD1, CD2, CD3, and so on... Track numbering starts from 1 in each folder. Sorting based on title does not work, nor sorting based on track numbers or filenames. In such case the only viable solution is to sort by disc number and then by track number.
The quickest way to implement such custom sort criteria would be the addition of "custom criteria.." entry to the end (or to the beginning) of list of sort fields. The application should bring up a customization dialog if the user selects "custom criteria..." entry from the sorting drop down control. Of course, there are other ways (visually more descriptive) to implement the same thing.
I hope that this feature in one or other form will cut its way to a new version.
Kind regards,
Olli-Pekka

Many thanks for your thoughts. We'll certainly consider it along with the other suggestions we have from users.

Hi
Currently, Mezzmo sorts the playlist alphabetically, unfortunately it is not very convenient for me. I would like to be able to set my own playlist order on the tree. Currently, to set my own order, I have to enter the numbers at the beginning of the Playlist name. Unfortunately, this does not look good on the Playlist tree. Please add the option to set your own order on the Playlist tree (it can be drag and drop).

Thanks for letting us know, Lupus. We have this issue logged in our development list and we will add this capability into Mezzmo. Right now, we are working on a new set of features for the upcoming version of Mezzmo. We may consider your suggestion for a subsequent version of Mezzmo.
