Sort the playlist by clicking on the column headings in the playlist table. Save the sorted playlist to Spotify. You'll have to go on the desktop program, or the webapp (play.spotify.com). As far as I know there's not a way to do it on mobile. If you go on one of those, click and drag should do it.

Aside from paying a flat rate for basically unlimited music every month and having the ability to download the app to any smartphone, one of Spotify's main draws is how easy it is to create and curate playlists.
Creating the covers for those playlists is a slightly different story. Some Spotify users have been openly critical of how the streaming music service's playlist cover selection works.
When you're creating a playlist, the cover automatically becomes a collage of the art for the playlist's first four songs. Spotify's desktop site lets you manually replace the cover so long you have rights to the image you want to upload. But on the mobile app for Android, the only way to change it is to rearrange your playlist's opening tracks.
If you don't mind having to switch the tracks in the first four positions of your playlist now and then, here's how Android users can change their Spotify playlist covers on the desktop and their mobile phones.
