Hi tjflaherty78,

Are you using the "Show iTunes playlists" feature, or are you dragging and dropping them into Scratch Live?

Scratch Live doesn't actually keep the same song order as the iTunes playlist. As the Scratch Live library has its own algorithm for sorting songs (artist/song/genre/etc) It will always default to this.

If you want to have your iTunes playlist in Scratch Live and be able to drag songs around to create a certain order, you will need to create a Crate and then drag all of the tracks from the iTunes playlist in Scratch Live into the new Crate.

Then you can start moving everything around.

Cheers!
