If you export it to an USB ... that means you insert the USB into another device? Just sort it over there? Plenty of options.

Intelligent playlist export to USB with intact sorting order
I'm trying to export an intelligent playlist to USB with intact sorting order but it doesn't seem to work. For example, if the intelligent playlist is sorted by "Key", the exported playlist is not, rather in a quite random fashion. This order seems to be internally assigned, if you click on the column furthest to the left in the playlist you can see it. Is there any way change this random order and keep it while exporting to USB? Trying my hardest to migrate from iTunes but the Rekordbox intelligent playlists doesn't make life easy...

Export to USB for use in CDJ. The point I'm trying to make is that the sort order of the intelligent playlist is not exported. Of course there's a lot of sort options on a CDJ but it doesn't make any sense that the sort order of an intelligent playlist is ignored.

Track ordering is only retained in non-intelligent playlists. If you want to sort by BPM on a CDJ, you can select that from the MENU and apply that sort option. If it's not included, you can add that criteria to the export device's preferences.

Is there any reason why the sort order is not retained? I mean, why have an sort order at all if it is ignored when you export to USB? Doesn't make any sense to me, I guess there's another thing on the list to do for making the intelligent playlists to par with the iTunes smart playlists.
However, I found a way to go around this "bug". I have added a global variable to all my tunes and store it in a CDJ-sortable field. That way I can retain the sort order, a bit hacky but it works.
