Musicbee keeps removing the natural order setting from my playlists.

How do I stop this?

I have a suspicion that me rearanging my main music view (where all songs are displayed) changes the natural order setting for all playlists.

Hi, welcome to the forum!

It may be related, although the library should have its own view settings, separate from playlists. But all static playlists have the same view settings unless you specify otherwise.  You can find out more about how to customize playlist settings here: https://musicbee.fandom.com/wiki/Playlists

I only see mention of natural order as how to revert back, not how it gets out of natural order.

I want to prevent this entirely.

Sort order is part of your view settings, so play surround and see what happens if you change settings

Sheet order is part of your view settings, so play surround and see what happens if you change settings

I am sorry, I don't understand what that means.

Well, my typo didn't help. But take a look at playlist settings, there are options for independent fields and you can change the specific view a playlist uses. It's not intuitive, but the playlist page on the wiki tries to explain how those settings work together. I don't think you can really grasp it until you've experimented to see what happens.

Can anyone try to explain this to me?

Note that I am not a superuser in anyway, I can barely even use a mouse and keyboard without going cross eyed.
