In Lexicon there isn’t a number, but to get the original order of the playlist you can “unsort” a playlist by clicking the sorting arrow icon until the arrow disappears.

Thank you for ansewrin Christiaan,  
im a frustraded Engine user after 4 years of continue issues with that crap of software. i m looking for a new way to manage my library and Lexicon is tempting me a lot…🙂  
i know that starting with a request is not the best way…but Rekordbox Traktor and Engine have this column “#” that is quite useful, i think you should implement it in your Lexicon…  
I m planning to subscribe 1 month to have try with Lexicon that seems to be good and smart, i am just worried about my Engine DB that is a mess with 5000 songs…full of cue point, comments … i hope to manage my collection without issues… a will study a bit more next days…  
ciao

I use Lexicon for the exact same reasons, I work on the Denon Prime 4 and use Lexicon to export directly to an external drive to go into the Prime 4 without ever touching Engine DJ, it works brilliantly for me.

I think a number would be useful. Example I add a track into a history playlist, so i want to slot in this track at a particular section of the night where it could have gone down well. In Rekordbox i can look at my history and see at what track order number the songs were played or organised. Knowing the order number i can quickly drag and drop new tracks onto playlists sections. right now this process is very slow.
