Drag Drop and rearrange playlist?

Postby whydoesntitwork » 28 Mar 2013 19:22

I am able to drag and drop a file from a Windows folder into the player and / or the playlist and add files to the playlist this way.
However, since I guess VLC 2.0 I am no longer able to rearrange the playlist by dragging and dropping a file inside the playlist. So I am unable to rearrange the playlist. I can sort them with the options in the rightclick menu, but that's not what I want. I just want to make a quick playlist and arrange the files manually. I am now on 2.0.5 and I have to drag and drop every file in the correct order into the playlist. If I want to add another file, but don't want it at the end of the playlist, I have to start over.

It's such a simple yet useful feature, I can't believe it was removed on purpose.
