I still see this same problem on Ubuntu 16.04 using Rhythmbox 3.3: $ dpkg -l rhythmbox |tail -1 ii rhythmbox 3.3-1ubuntu7 amd64 music player and organizer for GNOME
There is an upstream report about missing playlist sorting. Maybe it is related, although a bit vague in its wording: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/rhythmbox/issues/1110 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1004893 Title: Renamed Playlists aren't sorted alphabetically until restart Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: When a playlist is renamed, it maintains the position on the list that it occupied before the rename. For Example, if a user has three playlists named "New Music" "Pop" and "Soundtrack", they are listed alphabetically as [New Music] [Pop] [Soundtrack] but if "Soundtrack" is renamed to "Instrumental", the alphabetization is disrupted, and the list reads [New Music] [Pop] [Instrumental] but it should immediately re-alphabetize based on the new name, like so: [Instrumental] [New Music] [Pop] The same applies to new playlists, as they are named "New Playlist" automatically, and therefore are placed under "N" and remain there until Rhythmbox is restarted.
