How do I sort by artist name on I tunes

how do I sort by artist name on I tunes

Sorry Chris - that doesn't work unless you want the albums all listed. What I found was so simple. In the view catagoryclick on "Show View Options" That brings up a whole table of things. At the top it says sort by and if you click on the arrow it brings up however you want it sorted - in my case by artist instead of by song.
Thanks anyway

How do i sort by (file) name

How do i sort by file name for an album? I organize the photos from all different sources.. by filename.. and when i import them i just want them in the right order. This has to be one of the most basic functions and why was it eliminated from iPhoto?
Now all i get is "keep sorted by date" check box... (which does not work, some are still not in order)
Apple: this minimalist crap is getting old.. THIS IS A desktop PC..not an ipad or iphone. Put some meat in the menus and stop worrying so much about everything being pretty and streamlined.
C'mon!!!.. wasted time

Now all i get is "keep sorted by date" check box... (which does not work, some are still not in order)
"Keep sorted by date" can only be toggled on and off for regular albums, not for smart albums.

Put your library in Songs view. Make sure you have columns visible for Kind and BIt Rate. If those columns are not visible, add them by going to View > View Options.
You can sort either on Kind or on Bit Rate (but not both at the same time) by clicking on the column heading.

Problem Sorting on Artist Name with numbers in title

I just upgraded to iTunes 7.7 and when I sort by artist, all the artists with numbers in their name (3 doors down, 10,000 Maniacs) appear after the "Z's" at the very end of my library, I want them before the "A's" as the first block of songs in my library, can't firgure out how to do that, it was always that way in my previous iTune versions, but with the upgrade it changed by itself
Can anyone help, I am sure this should be easy as I never had to do anything before to get this sorting behavior

This was changed in version 7.3.
See this -> iTunes 7.3: Changes in music sort order

How do you sort by album name?

I have iTunes for Windows Vista, and I can sort music in my library by Name, Time, Artist, Genre, Rating, Play Count, and last played. However, there is no option to sort by album name. Shouldn't there be? Otherwise, how can I possibly find all the tracks of a compilation with various artists without going crazy?

Anyone have a solution to this yet?
In MUSIC, clicking on columns to add ALBUM name only adds ALBUM by ARTIST which does not give a way to see and sort for the entire LIBRARY.
Seems to be a lost ffeature in the new 9.0 version.

How do I sort an artist's songs alphabetically in iTunes store?

Until this week, I could go into the iTunes store, select an artist, and click on "Name" to sort that artist's songs alphabetically. With the new software upgrade, clicking on "Name" does nothing. How do we now sort an artist's songs alphabetically in the iTunes store?

lulz, I feel like I'm just picking the ones that have this question and like, pasting my reply Hope this helps!
Here is a step by step picture tutorial :
Step 1-Up thar in the top right corner, type in what artist you want (1). Or you can click "Music" at the top black bar, and then when scroll down to whatever genre you want (2).
1.
2.
Step 2-If you did the genre version, on the right sidebar area, there should be a "Top songs", click that, and there, you can sort however you want. It works like normal. Idk why.
If you searched artist, however, you can't just click "songs" or "see all" at the songs slidey area (really, anything you see at the top right side bar, don't click it, it won't let you sort because it's a search result list. IDK why Apple did this, but it did )
You have to click the artist's name, under the top part of the right sidebar, where it says "Artists and More" (SEE BELOW)
Once you click that, the artist page pops up:
There, click "see all" for songs:
And then you can sort.
I hope that helped!
LOL sorry, I just realized that I changed artists halfway. haha....^.^"

How do I get the artists name to appear under the song?

In the iTunes it is not showing the artists name under the song if I type anything different like my name or some other artist It is shown but when I type the artist it is not shown how do I fix this problem?

Hi Kenneth,
I"m a little confused, your posts lists you using an iMac G5. The iMac dosen't have a battery to power the computer; that's a feature of portable computers like MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs.

Problem sorting by artist name

itunes 9 sort by artist is not consistent (e.g Alberta Hunter appears before Harry Allen). Why? And is this fixable?

Because it sorts by the name in the artist column.
Alberta comes before Harry.
If you want *Harry Allen* filed under A and *Alberta Hunter* under H then put the names in the *Sort Artist* column as *Allen, Harry* and *Hunter, Alberta*.

How to include artworks and artist name onto download playlists to a usb key

Hi!
I used the "COPY/PASTE" function of WINDOWS to copy ITUNES PLAYLISTs onto a USB key to be used in my car. All the songs play well and the display shows the titles. However, the display does not show the ARTWORKS and artist name.
Is there a way to display this information with the new version of ITUNES. With my older version, I used to see all this info.
Thank-You,
Michel

Are these WAV files?
WAV does not use ID3 tags to store info.

How do I sort by artist, by album, by year

In iTunes 10, I sorted everything by artist, by album, by year (release date). I can't do that in iTunes 11 or I can't figure out how to do it. Grrrrrrrr Why do they break things?

Cpel1000 wrote:
Very simply (I just figured it out with a little help, so I'll pass it on to you)...Simply go to the VIEW option on the menu bar (show Menu Bar if not showing from upper left corner) and select VIEW OPTIONS and then select Artist in the 1st box, and YEAR in the 2nd. That will do it! Easy enough, new iTunes 11 is fantastic.
That doesn't work. Checking those boxes just determines the columns that will appear. The sort order is determined by the pop up at the top. And with that you choose only a single criteria for sorting.

How do I sort by Artist and Year?

I want to sort 1st by Artist then I want my tracks sorted by Year. I have only been able to do one or the other but not both at the same time. Does anyone know how to do this?Thanks, Robert

Hi, Robert.
As Dave says iTunes doesn't allow "dual" sorting but there is a workaround of sorts that you may find useful.
First create a Smart Playlist for the artist in question.
When you view that playlist in iTunes, make sure the Year column is being displayed (iTunes View menu > View Options > check Year).
In the main display you can now click on the Year column heading to sort the contents of that playlist by year.
