Windows Media Player don't work to well on Win10 the CPU goes right up, so I'm using VLC with WMP Skin.
How do I drag items in the playlist up/down.
Say if I drag mp3's into it but want to change the order while it's playing, most other media players let you drag the order.
I tried Ctrl+drag Ctrl+Shif+drag Shift+drag but no go.
Am I missing something simple ?
Also how do I dock the playlist into the right of the main window so I can still have visualization and play videos ?

Hi,

the "skined" version of VLC is rater limited compared to the native interface.

The Default skin version has the same issue, you can't drag items in the playlist to change order.

Playlist view mode? ("Change playlistview" button above playlist or VLC menu: View > Playlist view mode > ...)
You can resize or even hide the left menu.

Ok , you need to go to Preferences > Look and feel > Native style (rather than Skin > Default)
then you get the basic bright white interface.
The skins are so more modern but no control over the playlist
So I will have to go back to the Windows Media Player skin and just make do without being able to change the play order.
Thanks anyway.
