Hi Sarah Point being here that you shouldn't have to do all that. What's the point in having a "New Playlist from Selection" option if it does nothing? Also it never used to be necessary to muck about with all that sorting.

I forgot to add that before step 2 copy the tracks to the clip board. 4. Now paste the tracks in to the iTunes playlist and then sort by the column with the number in it. Good luck.
