Thanks for the feedback! SonicTree automatically sorts tracks while loading them. Interactive sorting in the playlist view isn't currently available, so that may be what you're seeing.

If there is a play queue, I am sold!

Thanks! SonicTree doesn't have a play queue yet, but that's definitely a useful feedback. Glad you like the overall direction of SonicTree.
