@gnattu Thanks for engagement on this issue. Why an enhancement and not a bug?
Any good workarounds?
Thanks.

@thearrow commented on GitHub (Jan 9, 2025):

would love to help with this if possible. ran into this issue today and it's very annoying. i'm a total noob to the jellyfin repos, but my initial look suggests:

  1. the API layer (that jellyfin-web uses to communicate with the backend server) takes a playlistId and a collection of itemIds to add to that playlist.
  2. there is already some preprocessing happening in that backend endpoint (e.g. removing duplicates)
  3. but there appears to be no sorting, so new items are added to the playlist in whatever order (itemId?)

would it be possible to add additional preprocessing to the backend code that checks whether each of the new items is a music track with a track number, and if so, sort the items by that track number before actually adding them?

Tracks and Disc order. I've been rearranging The Wall over and over and it doesn't remember half of it. Going to try maybe adding songs to the playlist one at a time.

For anyone else running into this issue, I've discovered a workaround: instead of adding the album itself to a playlist, press the play button on the album, open the play queue, and save the play queue to the playlist instead. This preserves the order of the album.
