Do it is possibile to randomize a playlist without select all tracks but with a simple click in tab menu?

Edit > Sort > Randomize

You can assign this to a button or to a keyboard shortcut. Make sure to use Edit/Sort/Sort/Randomize, not Edit/Selection/Sort/Sort/Randomize.

EDIT:

For what it's worth, being able to right-click a playlist tab and apply a sort makes a lot of sense. After all, is there anyone who actually applies a sort to only part of a playlist? Is there some guy thinking, "I must listen to randomized Bob Seger but Creedence must be in sequence in this playlist!"

I do sometimes. I'll have a bunch of tracks in my playlist, perhaps an album, add a bunch more and want to listen to the "extra" tracks in random order.

We know, but it happens more often to randomize the entire playlist.
It would be nice to have both functions directly accessible.

A tab context sort would be convenient but I'd actually decline in requesting it. The options I posted earlier, plus the ability to randomize playback (without randomizing the playlist), are more than adequate, IMO.

I said that partially in jest and in relation to right-clicking on a tab. I doubt anyone would expect to right-click on a tab to partially sort a playlist.
