In the attempt to provide a playing list which plays shuffled in display order, and thus enabling the next and previous functions, while still at the same time attempting to satisfy those who wish to see the now playing list in some order other that what it is playing, several bugs have been introduced, and I fear neither side is going to be happy when 5.1 is actually completed and released. This appears much like trying to drive south in the northbound lanes....
In my mind the simplest solution would be to have two separate different modes for the playing list, one being the old way, and the other being play in display order as described here.

If that is not in the cards, then at least some of the significant bugs currently present should be addressed.
1) We really need a full explanation of how it is supposed to work, and what is meant by "original order", and "save new order" and why..
2) The apparent malfunctions which occur when sorting the playing list in the right side pane by column header, after which it no longer focusses the current playing track, drag and drop no longer works, and there is no "save order" button in this pane.
3) The above "save order" button only appears if the column sort is performed in the "playing" node in the main window, in which case it also sometimes shows up in the "playing list" context menu.
4) If a new order is in fact saved in the "playing" node, this order is not reflected in the "playing list" in the right side pane.
5) The above often results in error messages when the shuffle button is turned off, and the attempt to revert to original order fails.
