Is there any way to order versions in a playlist other than creating an "order" field on the version itself? Looked for the answer here but did not find it:

Creating an order field doesn't work if the same version is in multiple playlists at the same time.
Hey Eli,
We have a Connection Entity field called "Sort Order" that you can find when you're in a Playlist Detail Page and viewing a Versions tab. In the field chooser, it can be found under the Playlist-Specific Fields. These Connection Entity fields are specific to the Version in that Playlist, so it's not a Version field, but instead a Playlist-Specific Version field. You'll notice that when you bring these fields into view, they are shaded a different color grey than normal fields. These Connection Entity fields are also referred to as Join fields.
Pro-tip: When you drag and drop the sort order while in the Review Notes App, it'll update this Sort Order field. Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Stephen
Sorry for replying to an old resolved post, but seeing as this was what google threw up, I thought it would be the right place.
I wondered if anyone knew how to achieve the same thing but through the api?
I have a script where I am creating the versions and the playlists, and I know the order, how should I set this?
Hi Philip,
The order for Versions in a Playlist are stored on the connection entity between the Playlist and linked Versions. This entity is called the "PlaylistVersionConnection." If you perform a schema read for the entity:
>>> sg.schema_field_read('PlaylistVersionConnection')
You'll get the full set of accessible fields. The most important one is the sg_sort_order, which stores the sort information.
