Oh, now I know what you meant. You mean the "Track", "Album", etc. 
columns. Sorry for misreading. As far as I can tell, the reason sorting 
doesn't work on playlists is because some people want their playlists in 
a specified order, and sorting the list might kill that. But I'm not a 
developer or designer, so I can't really speak for them.
