This component is now live on the official component repository. There have been no changes since the last release but future updates will be available via the built-in update mechanism.

JSplaylist is now bundled with the component itself.

How a playlist is originally sorted depends entirely on how the files were added in the first place. If you're adding from the File menu or drag/dropping from explorer, check the setting under File>Preferences>Shell Integration>Sort incoming files by. If you're using Album list, the playlist items are always sorted the same way they are displayed. Other 3rd party library viewers may have their own sorting preferences.
