TL;DR

YouTube Music is testing new playlist sorting options, namely track title, artist, and album.
The feature was spotted in app version 9.20.52 on Android, but it appears to be a gradual, server-side rollout.
These standard alphabetical sorting tools bridge a massive feature gap with competitors like Spotify and Apple Music.

YouTube Music has its own fanbase. However, the platform isn’t perfect, with bugs like the inability to play the next track (!!) affecting many users. Even if you discount the bugs as rare occurrences (they are not), the app is also missing plenty of basic features that have been in competing apps for ages, like the ability to sort a playlist by track title. It seems Google has finally listened, as users are now spotting more sorting options in YouTube Music.
