How Do I Sort Videos By Episode/Season and Not Name?

I commented on an older thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12379142#12379142) but think that this topic might deserve its own.
I am kind of frustrated that I have uploaded two TV series to my iPad and the video player is showing the videos sorted by episode name alphabetically. This is pretty dumb, since I want to watch the episodes in the order they were released and not the arbitrary order of their alphabetical sorting.
I have tried assigning season numbers, episode numbers, track numbers, release dates, all kinds of stuff. Nothing seems to change the iPad video app's alphabetical sort.
Can anyone show me where I am going wrong?

I just opened up iTunes while my iPad is connected to see what options are available for ordering the movies on the iPad directly. The video sync page that you refer to shows the movie icons in a grid format with a checkbox to determine if they should be synced with the device. The icons cannot be moved.
I have tried playing with the order and tags of the movies in the iTunes LIBRARY->Movies list but nothing I do there to the movies' info (or display, obviously) has any effect on how the iPad's video app sorts the movies.

  • Pages:  How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

    How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?  I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table.  It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well.  I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

    Hi Peter,
    Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
    In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
    iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
    As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
    With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
    In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.

  • How can I sort the Pictures in an Album by Name?

    I am updated my Photo App on OSX 10.10.2. All my Albums are imported fine, but how I can sort the Pictures in one Album by name? I just found the option for the Albums.

    Currently you can sort regular albums manually or by date; Smart Albums only by date; see How can you sort Album or Smart Album photos?

  • Hello guys! Do you know how to make a video smaller on imovie? Not by size or trim, i mean simply show the video as small as possible in the middle of the screen! Please text back.

    Hello guys! Do you know how to make a video smaller on imovie? Not by size or trim, i mean simply show the video as small as possible in the middle of the screen! Please text back.

    Go to the Map, Background & Animatic Browser (last button in the centre tool bar alongside the Transition button). Drag the Black background (or any background) to your project. From an Event, drag the video selection directly onto the Black clip in the project. As you drop the video clip, a pop-up menu will appear. Select Picture in Picture.
    Your video will appear as a small picture within the black clip. Click on it and reposition it to the centre of the viewer, using the yellow guide lines to get the exact centre position. Resize the Picture in Picture if desired by dragging the corner handles.
    NOTE: You may need to extend the duration of the Black clip to match the duration of the video clip. Double-click on the Black clip to open the Inspector, then adjust the duration there.

  • How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio from garageband be the sound when recording and not just your normal voice but garage band effects for youtube?

    How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio form garageband be apart of the video when recording, meaning the audio from garageband and echo  and not just your normal voice for youtube post?its not add the garageband audio its just normal voice from mic no  effects is going thru?

    Hi Life93,
    What you describe would be possible by recording your video, then removing the audio from it and adding audio from GarageBand once the video is in iMovie (I presume here that you are using iMovie for your video production. Other applications may need different methods.)
    See this thread on how to remove the audio from a clip in iMovie -

    You can't edit a video out of iTunes.
    You would have to edit the video from the original film, either on your computer, or iPhone.

  • HT2493 How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?

    Hello dear Mac users
    How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?
    I know how to change the icon of a file, but I wish to know how to change the preview of any file.
    For example: my file is "mysong.aif", I changed the icon to be "mylogo.png" using cmd+i, cmd+v on the icon. But the preview of the file still remain the same.
    I know it can be changed using iTunes, but I don't want to import all my files in iTune, and iTune cannot import all type of files.
    I hope someone will understand my needs...
    Thanks!

    Thanks BeerbarX
    You can't change the preview image for anything

    In the case of a music file, it will be that generic black box with a note on it
    That is exactly what I'm asking about !
    MP3 which has a special tagging standard that can include artwork
    How can I "tag" my MP3 without going thru iTunes ? Is it possible to do it dirrectly in the Finder ? Is there other type of files that can include such tags ?
    Thank you for answering my question , wich I have to admit may seem useless, but I wish I could put something like a signature logo on each of the different file I produce (as AIF for music and MP4 for video clip) instead of that generic black box with a note on it, and by the meantime keeping a different icon for all of them in order to illustrate theire content.

  • How can I print a whole email document and not a "screen shot" like I get in the Print Preview option.

    How can I print a whole email document and not a "screen shot" like I get in the Print Preview option. I'd like to print from "file" and print" like I can on other browsers (IE, for example). When I try to print from Firefox it grabs all my info (file folders, etc.) from the left side of the page. I need just the email information, not the entire screen information. Thank you!
    -Bruce

    I agree; I should, but I can't :) I have an orange Firefox drop down that I go to to print, and it allows me to select "print", "print preview" and "print setup", where I can change the margins. It always defaults to a full screen shot (I use Yahoo) and does not show just the email. I don't need to print what is on the left side of the screen or anything other than the email (I can achieve these things by using file-print from IE, so I know it is doable, and I am still going into Yahoo and using their email when I do it).
    Hope this helps. I'm not a fan of IE, but I really don't like the print properties I'm getting here (I'm a long time Mozilla user, but I'm losing too much info with this option and can't afford that anymore).
    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks

    Open the '''Bookmarks Manager.'''
    Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar. Then select
    '''Bookmarks.''' Hot key is '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)'' <Shift> B.'''
    Open the directory tree on the left. Find the folder you want to sort.

  • How can you keep the caps lock on and not unlock after each letter?

    How can you keep the caps lock on and not unlock after each letter?

    I'm not aware of an online keyboard that is available and can do this. Most likely it would need to be a function of the app itself (which can and sometimes do add functionlaity to the keyboard).
    Wireless keyboard might handle that, if that's an option for you.
    I work in IT myself, and IMHO the iPad isn't the ideal device for coding or scripting work.
