Research direction

Start with PlaylistSortMenu, which PlaylistDetailScreen.kt uses around line 210, and see how its sort state is wired into the list. Then open SmartPlaylistDetailScreen.kt and find where its list is built and what order it currently uses. Add the same menu there, with the playlist's natural order as the default. Done when the menu appears on smart playlists, the default order matches the natural order, and choosing another sort reorders the list.

Description

enhancement impact:U1 later P3 reach:R2 size:S

Smart playlist detail (Recently Added, Most Played, etc.) has no sort menu. User playlists do: PlaylistSortMenu (PlaylistDetailScreen.kt:210) offers 7 orders plus Descending, but SmartPlaylistDetailScreen.kt has none.

Expected: the same sort menu on smart playlists, defaulting to the playlist's natural order (e.g. date added, newest first, for Recently Added).

Seen in the release-compare capture of main (16-playlist-detail).

Impact U1 (natural order is usually what you want) · Reach R2 (smart playlist users) · Implemented: no · Design fit: fits · Complexity: S
