To clarify, you're setting sort order on a soup playlist? I think that's a recipe for disaster ... It's been a while now since I've used any of this, but isn't there a sort order setting in the soup creation dialog? Sort order is key to jEmplode being able to find tunes in the soup, so if you set sort order on it, I suspect it's going to freak out adding and removing things it's not supposed to if you change it after the fact with set sort order ...... Just a guess though -- like I said, it's been a while.
