A-z order of songs help!

whats the solution please?
thanx

Hello, and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Not sure if that is what you want, but you could set up playlists (takes some time, though) or just listen to the Albums one at a time, in which case the songs will be in proper order.
Hope this helps.

    Hey elgriffiths,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues downloading your pre-ordered content. The resolution is going to depend on the error message you are receiving, however, I have included two articles that address a number of common errors:

  • Anyone knows how 2 change the order of songs in ipod?????????need lots help

    i tried going on my computer then on (f:)(usb drive for ipod nano) and it only shoes me my calander,notes and contacts.
    oh and there is nothing i could see in itunes7.
    plz help

    First of all, if you are trying to drag songs from one position to another, that can only be done in a playlist. You can't do that in the iTunes Library, all you can do in there is re-order the songs by clicking at the top of any column. If the songs are in a playlist open iTunes then click on the playlist. Click on the number column (extreme left). Click on the song you want to move and drag it to where you want it to be. Right click on the playlist name and select "Copy to play order". Connect your iPod, if you are updating automatically it will pick up the change. If you are updating manually then you connect first and when the iPod appears in the source list carry out the process above directly in the playlist on your iPod. Make sure neither Shuffle or Repeat are switched on in the playlist, that can prevent you reordering tracks.

  • How do I change the order of songs?

    Hi,
    I have iTunes 9.0 (70) and I have my songs chosen in order by artist. I forgot how to change the order of songs.
    I tried switching the songs categorized by the name of the song. That didn't work.
    Please let me know how to drag and drop a song correctly. I just want to move one song by the same artist to a different spot in the queue.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I used to be able to do that left column thing, but it won't work.
    First of all, there are no numbers in that left column (not sure that matters or why that is). There's just an arrow at the top facing to the left with blank spaces beneath it.
    When I click on the left column, all that shows up is the cover art for the albums, and the list is changed the order of each full album. I still can't drop and move.
    Sorry I don't know how to attach a screen shot of this. Hope I described it okay.
    I'm wondering if there's a drop down menu item that needs to be changed or something.
    Thanks so far for your help!

  • Why can't I change the order of songs in my iTunes library?

    If I create a playlist I can change the order of songs but I can't change the order in the Library. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks

    That's the normal intended behaviour of the Library. I'm not exactly sure why it is, but I guess it's to make it clear to users that if they want to "fine tune" the tracks they should use a playlist (just like you can't use the burn button in the library).
    I'm sure you've noticed that you can still sort the library by clicking the headings.

  • How to change order of songs played

    I want to change the order of songs in a particular album in my general music library. I tried changing the track number, but it does not seem to do anything. Any help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Changing the track numbers should be enough IF the Album and Artist or Album Artist fields are identical for each track.

  • How can I change the order of songs in a smart playlist?

    Hi there,
    I have a question about smart playlists.
    I have a smart playlist where all songs rated 5 stars are ordered in descending order, meaning the latest additions first. That works well in iTunes and I can rearrange the songs there without a problem.
    But when I start the iPod on my iPhone the order of songs in this playlist is always the same. In my case the latest songs are always put last no matter how I sort the songs in iTunes. I tried to delete and create a new smart playlist but the result is always the same.
    Is there a solution?
    Thanks for your answers....

  • Ipad2, iOS 8.1.2, how do I change the order of songs in my Playlists?

    I Have an iPad 2, using iOS 8.1.2. i can't seem to change the order of songs in my Playlists in the Music App. I've clicked on Edit, and tried moving the 3 lines on the right up/down, but when I press Done, the changes have not been affected. Can anyone advise, please? I'm sure I'm missing something!

    It sounds like you are doing it correctly. That method works for me in iOS 8.1.2
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iDevice?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

    I understand that you want to change order of songs that are playing in iTunes. This functionality should still be available to you, as confirmed in this article:

    You may need to simply scroll in the information field in order to find the fields that you wish to edit. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • Moving order of songs in Playlist?

    How do I change the order of songs in a playlist?

    The songs go into the playlist in the order you put them into it.
    If you had the library sorted in alphabetical order, selected a bunch of songs, they will be in the playlist in alphabetical order.
    If you select one song and add it then another and add it, then another and add it, they will be in the order you added them.
