Reorder or Replace a Playlist's Items

Developing

PUT

/playlists/{playlist_id}/tracks

Either reorder or replace items in a playlist depending on the request's parameters.
To reorder items, include range_start, insert_before, range_length and snapshot_id in the request's body.
To replace items, include uris as either a query parameter or in the request's body.
Replacing items in a playlist will overwrite its existing items. This operation can be used for replacing or clearing items in a playlist.

Note: Replace and reorder are mutually exclusive operations which share the same endpoint, but have different parameters.
These operations can't be applied together in a single request.
