RB gives me a list of songs in a window--whatever is in this window WILL  
be played. Thus we have a sort of "playlist"--I would like to be able to  
re-arrange this playlist. Whether the developers see fit to let me change  
this playlist or not is their call.

As I've stated before, in my opinion, it would be nice if I could change  
the order of these files. I'm not saying that the app should remember what  
the arbitrary order was when I switch to another view--I would just like  
to be able to move songs higer or lower in said "playlist." (some seem to  
think that it would be a crime or that it would serve no purpose--I have a  
purpose for this feature)
