Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jwilsson/spotify-web-api-php/issues/135

Can I reorder, for example, 10 tracks at a time?
Put the last 10 track in the first positions?

Or just one by one?

thanks.

Hi!
Yes, you can reorder any number of tracks. An example putting the last 10 tracks first:

$tracks = $api->getPlayListTracks('PLAYLIST_ID');
$trackCount = count($tracks->items);

$api->reorderPlaylistTracks('PLAYLIST_ID', [
    'range_start' => $trackCount - 10,
    'range_length' => 10,
    'insert_before' => 0,
]);

Hi, thanks for the quick response!

But, if I wanna put 10 tracks which are in non-sequential positions, in first?

For example: put track 4, 9, 13 in first. Or put in first 15, 9, 7, 11.

I tried to create a loop, but obviously, with each loop, the positions had already changed.

Is there a way to put an array first?

Thanks,

Aha, I see. It doesn't look like it's possible to pass an array though.

But shouldn't you be able to solve it by using a loop? Something along the lines of updating range_start and/or insert_before on each iteration?

Or on second thought, perhaps SpotifyWebAPI::replacePlaylistTracks() could be used together with SpotifyWebAPI::getPlayListTracks().

For example, getting all the tracks, reordering them, and then replacing the whole playlist.

$tracks = $api->getPlayListTracks('PLAYLIST_ID');

// Do some magic reordering...

$api->replacePlaylistTracks('PLAYLIST_ID', $reorderedTracks);
