Smart playlist playing in order

I made sever smart playlists based on years, (60’s, 70’s etc). I want to play them in order, but when I start with the first song of the playlist, it plays and then it just randomly plays a second song, not the next one. I included a screen shot. I want to play Knock Three Times, then Celebrate, then Mama Told Me, etc. What am I doing wrong?

Hey Onthemarkwoodworking,

If I understand correctly, the music in the playlist is not playing in order. This could be if shuffle is enabled. I would recommend you use this article to help troubleshoot the issue.

"How to turn shuffle on or off on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android device

Open the Music app.

- Open an album or playlist.To turn on shuffle, tap Shuffle at the top of the screen.
- To turn off shuffle, tap the song that's playing at the bottom of the screen to open Now Playing, tap , then tap ."

Repeat and shuffle music

Please don't hesitate to let us know if the steps resolved your issue or if you need additional assistance.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Have a good one.
