While the sort order change propagates to all playlists which have same "display using view" option,
it does not propagates playlist folders.

I'd like the sort order change to propagates to playlist folders as well.



Thank you for considering.

I found a way to set a sort order to all playlist folders:

  1. Set the sort order to a playlist folder.
  2. Open the playlist folder in Windows Explorer, then you should find .xautopf file.
       - This file controls sort order (and other settings?) of the playlist folder.
  3. Edit .xautopf file and delete the line starting with "<SourcePath Location=...".
  4. Copy .xautopf file to other playlist folder.
       - If WSL is installed, you can copy by "find <path/to/MusicBee Root Directory>/Playlists -type d -exec cp </path/to/.xautopf> {} \;".
  5. Restart MusicBee and the sort order is applied to all playlist folders.

Since this method is unofficial and may have side effects, use it at your own risk.
