Thank you, Jonathan!!! This was very helpful.  It turns out that all these 
playlists are smart playlists, though I would swear I didn’t set them up that 
way.  And I have to say that if creating a smart playlist gives you no control 
over sorting or play order, I’ll never create one again. Lol
Cheers,
Donna
