First identify which PRISM Live Studio list you mean: tracks in a desktop Music Playlist, saved sources in My Studio, or a video or music playlist on mobile. They are separate workflows, and PRISM’s published instructions explain how to reorder items but do not explain why an order might unexpectedly revert.
Use the instructions for the list and platform you actually have. If the order still changes, record exactly which list is affected and what you did before and after the change; do not assume a playback setting or a particular cause is responsible.
Identify the platform and list
“Media source playlist order” can describe more than one thing. In PRISM desktop, a Music Playlist source contains tracks, which you rearrange in that playlist’s window. My Studio, by contrast, holds saved sources, and PRISM’s FAQ describes reordering those sources through a mobile editing workflow. The mobile Media Playlist feature has its own video and saved music playlist controls.
Before changing anything, answer two questions: are you using PRISM on desktop or mobile, and what items are in the list whose order changed? If the items are songs inside a desktop Music Playlist, use the desktop track instructions below. If they are saved sources in My Studio, use its source-order workflow. If you are looking at a mobile video or music playlist, use the mobile guidance instead.
| What you are looking at | Platform or area | What is being reordered |
|---|---|---|
| Music Playlist source window | Desktop | Tracks within a playlist |
| My Studio edit view | Mobile workflow described in PRISM’s FAQ | Saved sources |
| Media Playlist | Mobile | Videos or a saved music playlist |
| Media Source playback controls | Desktop | Playback behaviour, not playlist order |
This distinction matters when you ask for help as well as when you follow steps. “The playlist changed” does not tell someone whether your track sequence, saved-source arrangement, or playback is affected. Note the app version and name the relevant list when contacting PRISM support or comparing what you see with its guide.
It also matters for your broadcast plan. A tool that rotates complete video files is not necessarily the same as a playlist of audio tracks or a set of saved scene sources. For a broader picture of how a prepared sequence differs from changing clips, see this guide to rotating videos automatically in a 24/7 YouTube stream. That distinction can help you describe your intended workflow, but it does not explain or repair a PRISM list reverting.
Reorder tracks in a desktop Music Playlist
PRISM’s desktop guide documents a direct way to change the order of tracks in a Music Playlist source: open the Music Playlist window for that source, then drag and drop tracks into the desired sequence. This instruction applies to tracks inside that playlist. It is not the procedure for rearranging sources in My Studio or mobile video items.
Work methodically. First note the order you want, then open the playlist window belonging to the Music Playlist source you are using. Move a track to the position you intend and check the surrounding items before moving more. If you have a long selection, make one or two changes at a time and inspect the result; this makes it easier to notice whether you are moving the right row, rather than trying to reconstruct several simultaneous changes.
After arranging tracks, close or leave the window in the normal way and check the same playlist again. PRISM’s documentation supports the drag-and-drop operation, but does not say that it prevents a later unexpected reset. Treat it as the documented reorder control, not as a fix for an unexplained reversion.
If the order you see on screen is right but the broadcast plays something else, separate the two symptoms. A displayed sequence and a track failing to start or restart are not automatically the same problem. The PRISM desktop Music Playlist instructions describe the playlist workflow; use them to confirm you are editing the correct list, then investigate playback separately if playback itself is the complaint.
For a continuous channel, keep a written reference order or a simple screenshot before making a batch of edits. This is a record for comparison, not a mechanism that saves or locks the sequence. If the next check shows a different order, you can state what changed rather than relying on memory during an overnight run.
Distinguish tracks from My Studio sources
A common source of confusion is using “playlist” to mean any ordered group of media. In the desktop Music Playlist, the items are tracks. In My Studio, the items under discussion are saved sources. Reordering one does not amount to reordering the other, and the desktop drag-and-drop instruction should not be applied to a mobile My Studio list.
PRISM’s FAQ describes changing the order of saved sources by entering Edit in My Studio and then tapping and holding sources to move them. This is a mobile instruction for saved sources. Check that the screen really is My Studio and that you are handling source entries, rather than assuming the FAQ’s workflow applies to the tracks in a desktop Music Playlist.
If you are setting up a devotional or music channel, that distinction is useful when documenting your production: a saved source can be one of the elements in your scene, while a music playlist can contain the individual songs. A reader looking for help with a 24/7 aarti stream’s song sequence may be thinking about tracks, not the order of sources in a studio collection. State which one you are changing before applying any instructions.
PRISM’s FAQ is the primary reference for its My Studio source-order guidance. If your own interface does not match the described steps, note the platform and app version and consult the current PRISM instructions rather than substituting a similarly named control from another workflow.
Reorder saved sources on mobile
For saved sources in My Studio, follow the mobile workflow PRISM describes: open My Studio, choose Edit, then tap and hold a source to change its position. Make sure the list contains the saved sources you intend to arrange. Do not take the desktop Music Playlist track steps as a substitute; they address a different object in a different interface.
Before editing, note the order you see and the order you want. Move one source, inspect the new arrangement, and then continue if necessary. This modest check helps distinguish a successful move from an edit on the wrong list. It does not establish why an order may later change, and PRISM’s instructions do not claim that the edit prevents reversion.
If you use several scenes or sources in a 24/7 channel, preserve the broader scene setup before making changes that could affect it. PRISM says scene and source information is saved locally and recommends exporting a Scene Set file to preserve scenes before logging out. The scene-set management guide describes that preservation measure. An export is a backup step, not a demonstrated repair for playlist ordering.
This can be especially useful if you are investigating more than one symptom. Keep the saved-source sequence, your scene arrangement, and whether playback starts as separate notes. If the source order is stable but a song does not play, the problem to describe is playback, not source-order reversion. A clear description helps avoid repeating an irrelevant reorder operation.
Check mobile video and music playlists
PRISM’s mobile Media Playlist is another distinct feature. Its mobile guide says video order can be adjusted and saved music playlists can be edited in My Studio. Do not assume that either operation follows the desktop Music Playlist window’s drag-and-drop procedure; use the mobile controls for the mobile playlist you are actually editing.
First determine whether you are arranging videos or editing a saved music playlist. For videos, check the video sequence in the Media Playlist workflow. For a saved music playlist, use the My Studio path described in PRISM’s mobile guidance. Keep the list type in your notes, because “mobile playlist order” alone does not identify whether you mean video items or saved music.
The PRISM mobile Media Playlist guide is the primary source for those controls. If its current instructions differ from what appears in your app, use the app’s current version and official guidance as your reference. The available guidance establishes that these items can be adjusted; it does not establish a cause or universal workaround for a sequence that later reverts.
A channel that alternates long clips may also need a content plan beyond a single app list. This guide on scheduling different videos on a 24/7 YouTube livestream covers the broader programming question. It is relevant when planning what should play over time, but it should not be mistaken for a diagnosis of PRISM’s saved mobile order.
Confirm the saved order
Once you have used the appropriate control, verify the exact same list again. Return to the desktop Music Playlist window if you changed tracks there; revisit My Studio if you reordered saved sources; or reopen the mobile Media Playlist if you edited its videos or music. Checking a different list can make a correct change appear to have failed.
Record a few practical details: the platform, PRISM app version, the name or type of list, the intended sequence, and the sequence you see after returning to it. If the list changes, note when you noticed it and what happened immediately beforehand. These are observations, not explanations. In particular, do not turn a timing coincidence into a claim that an update, sorting option, sync, or damaged configuration caused the order to change.
If your broadcast is also failing to play or restart media, investigate that separately. PRISM’s desktop Media Source guide discusses playback behaviour, including restart-playback options and applying changes in Studio Mode. Those playback controls are not documented as playlist-order fixes. The Media Source guide is appropriate when the symptom is playback, not when the only symptom is that items appear in a different order.
For an always-on channel, keeping an independent record of intended sequence can make a handover or later comparison simpler. A short note such as “desktop Music Playlist, tracks A–D, order checked after editing” is more useful than “PRISM shuffled it”. If your channel plays a continuous audio programme, the practical planning advice in this guide to streaming Kannada devotional music 24/7 on YouTube may help with the broadcast itself, while leaving this specific app-order question properly bounded.
If the order reverts
If the order returns to a previous arrangement after you used the documented control, the honest answer is that the available PRISM sources do not identify why. They document reorder operations for desktop Music Playlist tracks, mobile My Studio sources, and mobile playlist items, but they do not establish a known cause, affected version, or official workaround for an unexpected reversion. Avoid advice that presents an unverified cause as fact.
Repeat the check once in the correct list and capture what you observe: desktop or mobile, app version, list type, intended order, actual order, and whether you had left or reopened the screen. If practical, take a screenshot before and after. These records can help you explain the behaviour to PRISM support or compare it against current official guidance; they do not prove what caused it.
If scenes or sources are at stake, consider exporting a Scene Set to preserve scene information before logging out, as PRISM recommends. Keep that separate from the order investigation: the export is preservation guidance, not a playlist-order fix. Do not reset, reinstall, or delete local material solely on the assumption that configuration damage is responsible when the reviewed instructions do not say that it is.
If all you need is a dependable 24/7 YouTube broadcast from a prepared video, rather than PRISM’s interactive media controls, a file-based workflow may remove the need to keep a desktop session running overnight. StreamNeo turns an uploaded video into a YouTube live stream, so the specific burden of leaving your own computer on for that broadcast is removed; it will not repair PRISM or reorder a PRISM playlist.
When a PRISM symptom remains unexplained, describe only what you can verify and check PRISM’s current official page for changes. Do not promise that any workflow guarantees a particular outcome.

FAQ
Does dragging tracks in desktop Music Playlist fix an order that keeps reverting?
Dragging and dropping is PRISM’s documented way to reorder tracks in a desktop Music Playlist. The guidance does not say that it fixes an unexplained reset, so confirm the list and record what happens if the order changes again.
Is My Studio source order the same as Music Playlist track order?
No. Music Playlist order refers to tracks inside a desktop playlist source, while My Studio order refers to saved sources. PRISM’s FAQ describes a mobile Edit and tap-and-hold workflow for those saved sources.
Can I use the desktop steps for a mobile Media Playlist?
Do not assume so. PRISM documents mobile video-order adjustment and editing saved music playlists in My Studio; use the mobile instructions for the relevant list rather than applying desktop track steps.
What should I do if the correct order changes again?
Note the platform, app version, exact list, and before-and-after order, then consult PRISM’s current official guidance or contact support. The sources reviewed do not identify a cause or a general workaround for an unexpected reversion.
