ITunes U courses listings out of order? Hegarty - Coding Together

Paul Hegarty's iTunes U course named "Coding Together - Apps for iPhone and iPad" lists its courses in a confusing order, it seems. (See image below). The number system is inconsistently applied and out of order, the dates are jumbled, etc.
How can I know what order to take the courses? (Believe me, I've tried to find the answer before posting this).

Set your track numbers correctly (by right clicking, clinking 'Get Info' and clicking on the info tab), and make sure you also set the totals (e.g. 12 of 18 - the "of 18" is what I mean by the totals). This sorted it out on my iPod.
This worked for me for my Teaching Company files. They were all jumbled previously because they took the track numbers from the default import from the internet. Once I changed it, no problem.
It would be better if Apple allowed just a dragging, or if there was a quick tool, but at least this works.
I had previously been using "Join Together" for stuff like this. I think I like this method better, though. I can still keep the individual lecture files on a playlist, but not have to worry about all the separate titles in a general listing.

My itunes arranges some songs out of order. why?!

I' m having trouble with my Itunes and playlists. Also, some songs get cut off suddenly and stop playing. What can I do?

maybe your songs in the itunes are out of order (ps.2 4 5 1 3)
1>click the serial item of songs
2>the song are in order to 1.2.3.4.5
3>then sync the songs

ITunes TV Shows are out of order in iPhone tab.

I've been importing a TV Show Season from DVD into iTunes so I can watch the TV show on my iPhone at the gym. Everything works well, the TV shows are imported, I enter the meta-data for each show, title, episode #, etc.... When I look at my TV shows in the TV Shows tab in the side bar, they are all listed in order by episode number. Yet when I go to the iPhone tab in the sidebar, and the select the TV Shows tab to try and sync, all of the episodes are random and in no particular order at all. Maybe I'm just being OCD about it, but I want to watch the seasons in order and now I have no way to do this? Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks

Just discovered your post, I made a similar post with the same problem, only concerning Podcasts and not TV Shows. I don't think you're being OCD about it at all. It's only logical to expect that if you can put the songs of a music album in a certain order and listen to them that way, that you should be able to do the same with a TV show or Podcast series.
Check to make sure all of the following are set:
Info tab: Track number
Video tab: Show, Season Number, Episode ID, Episode Number
The TV shows on my iPod are in the correct order, but the Podcasts are not. Unexpectedly, I think it may be the Track number from the info tab that keeps them in order. I just removed the track number from an episode and it went out of order.

Track Listings Out of Order

Albums I've imported to iTunes the tracks are displayed out of order. I've looked at the view options, sorting and the shuffle isn't on.

I got it. Clicking on the heading straightened it out.

ITunes is playing tracks out of order

With the new iTunes update all the tracks for my albums are out of order. This really poses a problem when playing Broadway soundtracks (I kind of like to hear the show in order).
Is there an easy fix for this?

I also have this problem when in album "grid" view. iTunes plays the songs totally out of orded, but NOT by shuffling. (I've made sure the "shuffle" function is turned off). The order it plays the songs is screwed up, but non-random. I.e it's the same everytime.
Just like the previous poster, I've also assigned numbers to each track title, and they're organized correctly in each album. It's just that iTunes seems to ignore the order of the songs, and jumps between albums.
This is NOT good for my OCD!

ITunes lists TV episodes out of order

Two parts to this question. The picture above lists episodes for the show "Steven Universe". On the highlighted episode, "Political Power" should be listed before "Full Disclosure" but as you can see it's backwards. Normally I know this would be an issue of the episode tags being mislabled but since it's technically "one" episode (two 11-minute shorts aired together), I'm confused as to why it's backwards.
Also, why are the top episodes (Season 2) listed as "No Season" ? Is it because I bought a season pass for them and the season is still technically airing?
Any help or insight would be appreciated.

The iTunes Store isn't totally consistent when it comes to tag information, nor are the fields always set to give the best results possible in iTunes.
For your highlighted episode use Get Info to correct the title to reflect the order of the parts.
You can select all of the episodes of season 2, then use Get Info and set the season number to 2. This will cause the seasons to be listed in the correct order.

"My iTunes" RSS Feed is out of order

http://www.apple.com/itunes/myitunes/ says that the feed and widget is supposed to show my recent purchases. When I hook it up, it ends up showing stuff I bought last year, and not what I've bought in the past week!
Does anybody else have their feed working, or is it broken for everybody?

My advice is to send in feedback to the Apple iTunes team. That is a cop out answer but you have sent the e-mail to the wrong folks. If you send in a specific description of your problem to the feed back link you can be assured that it will get to the right people who will read it. Unfortunately, you will not get a response - but maybe we'll get a fix if enough people send in the form. Here's the link:

One File Out of Order in List View

Okay, this is driving me insane - it's probably something simple that I'm overlooking, but I just can't figure it out. I imported a 17 disc audio book to put on my mother's iPod for her, and for some reason one of the book's subfolders w/i the iTunes music folder is out of order when sorted by file name in list view in the Finder, as can be seen here:
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-9/54100/FileListPic.jpg
When first imported, the default names of all the files began with "Don_T", except the problem one (Disc 14), which formatted itself more correctly as "Don't". Thinking that this might be causing the "disorder", I changed all the rest to "Don't" as well, but no dice - Disc 14 refused to move from b/w Discs 6 and 7. I couldn't see any extraneous spaces or strange characters, but to make sure I copied all but the number from the file name of another disc in the set and pasted it into 14's name, but still no change. I even tried fixing my permissions and restarting, just in case, but that didn't help either.
I'm sure this weirdness won't make a difference when loading the audio book onto the iPod, but it's making me nuts that I can't figure out how to get the stupid thing to move!
Any help to prevent my imminent cranial explosion would be much appreciated!
(Possibly) Relevant Info: G4 iMac running 10.3.9, iTunes library lives on an external FW drive, all discs imported w/ iTunes 6.0.2 as 128kbps MP3s

Songs Play Out of Order

When I try to play music through iTunes, the songs play out of order. It jumps around to random songs instead of playing a full album or artist in the order the songs appear on the screen. I do not have "shuffle" turned on. I don't know if this has anything to do with the little checkboxes next to the song name, but some are checked and others aren't, and I can't figure out how to control that either. Some tips would be much appreciated. Thanks.

So I'm going to have to go into my playlists and enter in track numbers? WEAK! I've made playlists of audio recordings, etc., that were not on CD, so they have no track numbers, then just plugged in some graphics as "album art."
All because apple didn't forsee that some people would have made their own playlists and given it an "album art" graphic? That's a rather obvious thing, isn't it?

Songs displaying out of order in new iTunes

Despite proper track numbers on all the songs, tracks still display out of order when viewing them. Here is an album where the proper track numbers are showing but each song is in a completely random order. Note that shuffle is not enabled.
I've attempted to fix this by adjusting settings in the View menu and clicking and dragging. Nothing helps.
Any tips would be very much appriciated.

Hey Kilima,
THANK YOU! The problem was that some of the songs were labeled as "Album 1 of 1" while other songs had this information completely missing. This didn't affect the track listings in the old iTunes, but got distorted when I upgraded.
Thanks again!

My Podcasts out of order on iTunes 11.1

I recently upgraded from iTunes 11 to 11.1 and found that the list of podcasts in the My Podcasts tab is now totally out of order. If I go to the List tab it goes back to alphabetical order, but I liked the layout and features of My Podcasts until it got messed up. Anyone else having this problem or any suggestions for how to deal with it?

This whole podcast 'upgrade' has been a disaster. One thing which might help you is if you choose 'unplayed podcasts' rather than 'my podcasts and then 'edit' - 'view options' - tick 'thread view' . This reverts the list of unplayed pods from date order to podcast order (also alphabetical) this is the closest I can get to the old list view which I used to keep track of pods. It does not of course deal with all of the other problems as these are only unplayed pods and you can't seem to open into lists but at least I can make some sense of it.

Where are iTunes files located?
No, I do not mean just the music. Copying just the media/music files or the media folder creates problems.

Video and audio not sync when i play all forms of video. from music videos, to tv shows. but they play perfect on my iPod. and tv shows display out of order on iPod, but in correct order on iTunes/computer. I even ran a virus check just to make sure.

audio and video do not syncronize. all forms of videos. music videos to tv shows. what do i need to do the syncronize them again
they are in sync on iPod, but not on computer.
another issue that might be from the same cause is, the order of episodes of the tv shows i have downloaded, they appear in order on computer, but on iPod they show out of order.
any tips on how to fix this would very much help.
thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
An old version of iTunes will cause this and mess up the videos on your iPod. Always make sure you always use an up-to-date version of iTunes.
Make sure all the software on your computer is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
You will then need to restore the iPod and then let iTunes update your iPod and put your music, videos, etc. back onto your iPod...
Restore the iPod

Is there a way to reorganize out-of-order tracks in iTunes 11?

Hello all--
In iTunes 10, if an album appeared with the track numbers out of order, I could just click on the track number tab within each individual album and the tracks would be resorted by track number. In iTunes 11, I can't find a way to do the same thing. For example, I imported an album and now it starts out with track 4, then goes to 15, etc., but can't get them to sort sequentially. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I tried looking at one out-of-order album in the "songs" view, based on a similar question, but every time I try to search for the album under "songs" iTunes shows the result under "albums".

here is a link to macosxhints.com that tells you how to output all of your feed URLs to a terminal window. from there you can cut and paste them into your new feed reader of choice...
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080319094830396
and if you are in the marked for a new reader may i suggest David Watanabe's excellent NewsFire. he had just recently made it totally free as a gift to the macintosh community.
best of luck.
