I don't understand some of what the other suggestions are saying but,
Here is what I did:
With your mis-ordered or locked playlist in view, at the top of you iTunes to the right it should say: " View...Add to..."
Click the "Add to" button, your "album" grid should open with your playlist to the far right column, at the top of your playlist it should have your list title, amount of songs and the" amount of time" underneath
and directly underneath that, before your number 1 listed song it will say " Sort by: name, title, album, artist etc...choose "MANUAL" this will allow you to alter any of the songs or reorder them the way YOU want! then just click "DONE" and the windows will revert back to the playlist and ready to play!
I think that the new upgrades to the iTune players make changes like these and dont really offer easy quick explanations as to what they have changed about it, I hope this answers your quest!

First, you need iTunes in order to make a playlist. At the bottom left-hand corner of the iTunes screen, there is a little plus symbol. Click on that to make a new playlist. Name the playlist whatever you want to name it. Then click and drag the songs you want in the playlist over to the playlist's names. You can change the order of the songs according to your preference in the playlist by dragging the song either up or down. Hope this helps.

How do you sort your iTunes playlist?
1) If you are looking to change the ordering of the songs within a playlist: First you must be sure that shuffle is off. If the shuffle feature is on, you will not be able to rearrange your tracks. Once shuffle is off, simply select the song you would like to move and drag it to the desired position. A black line will serve as the indicator for the new position of the song as you drag it up or down the list.2) if you are looking to move the songs into a playlist: If the playlist does not exist, you will have to make one first. To move songs into a playlist, you may select the songs right-click and hover over add to playlist. You may then select the playlist you would like. Alternatively, you can drag the selected songs over the playlist on the list to the left.Hi, I am new to Wikianswers and I thought I would try and help people who are experiencing the same frustrations as I am with manipulating songs within an Itunes playlist. Previously, I have been able to move and rearrange songs freely within my playlist but after adding more songs to an existing playlist, found that I could no longer do this. I have tried all other suggestions on Google but have found that this has worked for me and may for you as well.My Solution:In Itunes I clicked on the sort arrow in the top left corner that contains the order number and this must have released the lock on the song order or something similar because now I can drag each song and position it wherever I want.When right clicking on the sort arrow, untick all the sort categories, then you are free to move your tunes as you want. On a PC.AnswerMust be in Playlist and here's the easiest way:Click on Controls menuClick on ShuffleClick on Turn Off ShuffleThen click on the song you wish to move and drag to the position you want it.Done!If Shuffle doesn't work, try this solution:Ok, Turning the shuffle on/off did not work for me. The person who mentioned clicking on the sort arrow in the top left corner was on the right track but forgot to mention that it isn't in the menu. It is actually a little farther down the screen & it is the tiny little box with the up/down arrow that sits right above the track numbers in the playlist next to "Name", "Artist", Etc.Note: Sometimes the up/down arrow disappears so you may have to click on the box in order to see the arrow. You should then be able to move the tracks anywhere you want to.It'd be nice if Itunes would just tell us these things in the help section but I guess that would be way too easy.
