I have the same issue with imported playlists from iTunes not playing on Sonos via the IOS App. Mine are just ‘regular’ playlists created by me (ie not ‘Smart’ which are a different dynamic feature in iTunes). The music files and imported playlists are all sitting on my NAS. Sonos will find and display the imported playlists via ‘Music Library’ and will also display the content of the playlist on the IOS App, but the system will not load the playlist into the queue and start to play.  However, an individual tracks in the playlist can be selected to ‘Play Now’, ‘Play Next’, ‘Add to end of queue’ etc which all work as expected. 
 

There are no issues loading / playing the same imported playlists using the Sonos App on a Windows PC, or the SonoPhone 3rd party App on my iPhone.
 

So to me it seems like it is a Sonos IOS App issue (along with the missing A-Z index for scrolling through songs). 

Yes, all of this

Let’s hope the fix also includes being able to load and play an imported playlist from a local music library.

not sure if this is related but I am unable to start my imported playlists on my iOS devices (phone and iPad) - the playlists will load but the queue will not start to play - I have reset, removed and re-installed the App several times without any positive result - the imported playlists work correctly with the alternative app SonoPhone

It’s bug - Sonos support are aware of it
