spotify playlist items sorting mechanism in web api

Question

It would be so great if the playlist items endpoint would have a sorting function, like sorting by date added (desc/asc) or other fields. sadly I do not find anything about sorting in the official docs.

https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#/operations/get-playlists-tracks

does anybody had the same issue as well and how do you solved it?

Answer 1

You can reorder playlists using the Update Playlist Items endpoint.

It is a PUT on /playlists/{playlist_id}/tracks and has some body fields that are required.
