Playlist Sorting Default

Is there a way to change the default sorting of playlists in Traktor Pro 3.4.1 254?

I can see you can consolidate in the current version but when I right click I just get a grey dot where I clicked.

I'm using a Mac with High Sierra as it's a vintage machine.

Thanks

-EDIT- Being an idiot 🤦 It's not playlists. it's the folders.

I have Artists, Releases, Labels and Genres. Within these folders are lists. I want to sort the folder called Genre and the 'lists' within it by key and keep it like that. Is that possible or do I have to create playlists for each genre? (The latter seems rather a messy way of doing it)

Just click on the desired Tab!

Also you can right-click on the main bar and add more tabs, like this:

Some examples on the same playlist:

Shorted by BPM:

Shorted by Key:

Shorted by Time:

...and so on. Just click on the Tab you want. Your playlist will stay the same, until you change it again :-)

Thanks for the reply Sunborn.

I don't think I explained myself well.

In this screenshot, you will see on the left I have some folders. When I expand any of those folders, I get 'lists', as you can see I've expanded the Genre folder and have selected the list called 90s.

When I sort this list by Key, it's all good until I close Traktor and reopen it. The list is then back to how we see it in the picture.

Is it possible to keep these lists sorted the same as when I closed Traktor?

These are not lists, neither folders.

They are pre-defined Categories hard-coded inside the software.

You can still short them as i told you above, but i don't know if it will lasts, i never use those categories

I organised my collection the same as @tobias enstrom and tried many things to find a sorting which stays after closing/re-open, but didn´t find a way - but hey, Tobias, it´s just 1 click to get it back, like @Sunborn showed you 😉

Thanks Sarge.

I have about 15 genres, it's a bit of a PIA to do that 15 times every time I use Traktor 😒

I ended up creating playlists.

I would call this a bug, actually - genre playlists do not remember sort order across sessions, other playlists do.

If you use smart playlists and choose the condition "Genre = 90s", you won't have to update the playlists every time you add new tracks to the genre. It will still be a little work though, no way around it.
