Sure. Just press "Edit" on the top of the playlist, then you can
drag&drop them. The drag&drop throughout iPeng (including the player
list and the "edit main menu" view) works a bit differently than before
in that you have to (very) briefly hold an item to pick it up, iPeng no
longer shows the handle.
That change was made for several reasons:
- this way it's consistent across the App
- in the "edit main menu" view the "stock" rearranging as provided by
iOS (the one with the handle) doesn't work because to select the menu
level you also need to move an item sideways
- in the player list the new scheme leads to much more obvious results
since it allows to drop one player directly onto another player (for
sync) or on a server (for server switching) instead of just
rearranging them as in Apple's solution. It also means in the player
list you can d&d without having to enter edit mode first (can't do
that in the current playlist because it conflicts with the context
menu).
- it saves the space for the handle which is especially precious in
the current playlist on iPhone and in pinned mode on iPad.

Doing it only for a few seconds will probably be difficult (how many?).
How would you stop that preview and return to the "main" playlist?
Automatically after a number of seconds is something I don't trust
because iPeng might be asleep so can't trigger this anymore.
Undo gesture (shake device)?

Difficult. People will let iPeng fall asleep and then it doesn't work
anymore. I'm for manual skipping.
