To move an item, double-tap it, but, hold after the second touch (so it's more like one and a half tap) and drag it to the desired position. The difference between "Now playing" and the playlist browser is that in the first case, changes are saved immediately, while in the latter they are preserved only after choosing "Save playlist" from the menu. |

When it pops out, do what you would do with any other text field (click on it to show the on-screen keyboard).
