I made it for that because app developers themselves often have to think about the order of the songs. Copy, paste, delete button keyboard for easy input and output. Input and output history can also be saved in the app. 【How to use】 1. Enter the items you want to rearrange. Without forcibly input, it is useful to copy and paste.
