Oops, I nearly forgot those emms-pl-*.el files...

How about name it `emms-playlist-sort.el'? Attachment is my initial
effort.

Thanks. Given the complexity, adding all files at a time and using the
above sort functions seems to be good workaround.

p.s. I think it's valuable to show keymaps when `M-x describe
emms-playlist-mode', namely,

(defun emms-playlist-mode ()
  "A major mode for Emms playlists.
\\{emms-playlist-mode-map}."
  (...))
