SO SIMPLE, WHY IS THIS OVERLOOKED?
I agree this is a massive oversight and without this VERY SIMPLE feature, playlists can get turned into chaos if you are sorting or moving tracks on the fly to adjust based on crowd, feedback, mistake etc.
Serato has this feature and it's critical, especially for a DJ like myself that plays a number of different venues and styles of music all in a single night.
This simple column of numbers has become even more important (in Serato and hopefully VDJ) when performing multi-column sorting where I can sort by first BPM then KEY, allowing me to group tracks more closely together.
Some playlists or crates have a small number of tracks, but when I do longer shows (3-5 hours) being able to quickly see where I am in a playlist without actually counting tracks is a MUST HAVE feature.
VDJ has so many important features that make it the platform of choice for certain events I DJ, especially with the event scheduler. However, without the simple visual of track numbers, I find myself moving back to Serato.

On the other hand, I've never needed track numbers and probably never will. I've been DJing since the late 70s and it's not an issue for me - at all.
I don't even use/need playlists. Never had 'em when I played vinyl, never had 'em when I played CDs. Don't need 'em now. :-)

Not something I've ever used but it has been requested many many times since I started using VDJ in 2008.
Surely not that hard to implement Adion?

+1 on this feature of "Set Order" alongside Reset Order will be VERY useful!
Like half of the work is in preparation. This would definitely save us time and make me upgrade for sure!
Like it just happened to me, I was making a playlist since last night,
only to find out "Reset Order" messed everything up,
because it was already ordered by a column.
I was creating this flow and now it's completely gone!
Had I the "Set Order" button, I wouldn't be starting all over again like I am now :-(

Indispensable function for preparing playlists in the best possible way!!!
Numbers make it easier to add new tracks in the desired order

OMG! New to VDJ. Spent hours creating a playlist in order to only be lost by clicking "order by artist"

unless you saved it you can right click a header and select reset sort order... its talked about below delete a playlist section on this page of the manual https://www.virtualdj.com/manuals/virtualdj/interface/database/playlists/index.html

It would be great if VDJ had the ability to set an Order Number for songs within a playlist. This is how I see it working. Once you manually organize songs in a particular order you desire in a playlist, you could press a button that sets the Order Number of all songs in that playlist to how you have them currently set. Once the Order Numbers are set, you could then display the "Order Number" field (new VDJ field) and sort on it. That way you could sort a playlist one way, and then immediately get it back to your "desired order" by sorting on the Order Number field.
The Order Number field would have to be a data element associated with the playlist and not the song so that you could have the same song in different playlists with different order numbers in each playlist.
You should have the ability the reset the order any time after initially setting it. Perhaps being prompted, "are you sure you want to overwrite the the previous order?".
This would be an awesome feature for me. Thanks for considering.

I use the user 1 field and use the following number Order
001
002
003
004
Now when ever I view the tracks they are sorted in my set number Order.
