Audiobooks not playing in proper order

I have an iPod Classic, 80GB, on up to date software (v 1.1.2, according to iTunes, which is on v 12.1.0.50). I have several audiobooks, some of which were loaded into iTunes from CDs rather than being downloaded from the iTunes Store. The iPod apparently syncs properly with the iMac, which is on Yosemite 10.10.2. (I don't think the issue is anything to do with the OS, since it was evident on the last two OSes as well.
The issue is that on the iPod under the Audiobooks menu the books are displayed and play in alphabetical order of the names of the tracks, not in the book order. Some of the track names are 'Track 1, Track 2', etc. This makes for interesting variety, but it's difficult to follow the plot!
I have tried resyncing after changing the sort order in iTunes, but nothing seems to make any difference. I have worked around the issue by creating playlists and merging tracks, but this is less than satisfactory.
Am I doing something wrong or is the iPod faulty? Thanks for any help offered.

Unchecked tracks are skipped during normal track to track playback and are usually excluded from syncing to devices. I use them for things like bonus interview tracks which I will keep in my library but don't want to play accidentally when listening to the album. There is a preference to hide the checkboxes if you don't have a use for them.

My ipod is not playing the correct order of my songs in playlists

my ipod is not playing the correct order of my song order in my playlists. it plays random order of playlist songs

You may have tapped the Shuffle button (looks like two arrows crossing path) in Blue. Tap it once again to turn it off.

1) What you downloaded should be a packed file (zip, tar.gz, etc) that needs to be unpacked into the directory of your choice.
2) & 3) are answered by Ant's installation documentation (the page you're quoting from):

Audiobooks not playing on iPod Classic

I downloaded an audiobook from iTunes. It will play on computer thru iTunes Library and will also play on computer when I click on iPod Audiobooks but will not play on my iPod. The info shows on video screen, but no playback.

It's a long time since I've experienced 1 of 0 on my iPod Classic and I can no longer remember what causes that.
However, 1 of 1 usually means that you are playing the iPod in shuffle mode and that all the songs in the Playlist are set to Skip when shuffling. In this situation, as a song is playing, every other song is set to be skipped, therefore there is nothing else to play - so 1 of 1. So if you are using shuffle mode, check the songs (in your iTunes Library) for Skip when shuffling. To do this, highlight a song and select File/Get Info/Options>Skip when shuffling> - no tick in the box.
If you need to change those settings, you need to Sync the Pod to iTunes afterwards for the changes to be on the iPod as well.

My iPhone 4 is not playing songs in order even though shuffle is off. How do I stop this from happening?

I have the shuffle option off on my iPhone 4 but when I listen to an album it does not play the songs in order. How do I stop this from happening?

This is the control DaVBMan is talking about. Tap the shuffle control until it shows white for shuffle off.

Concept albums do not play in correct order on ipod

Imported concept CD, Chicago 2 album, into iTunes and then put it on my 6th gen iPod Nano. Shuffle is off and yet tracks do not play in order on iPod but they do play in order on iTunes. Help--this is driving me crazy!

Looking in your iTunes library, do the songs have the *track number* field completed, are they correct and is the "total number of tracks on the album" also filled in?
There are various ways to see and change this information:
a.) *View/As list* (it's easier to see what you need at this time) and then *View/View options* and put a tick in the box named *Track No.* This will show you the track numbers in a column for each song and you can see which ones are missing.
If any songs or albums need changing:
b.) select song, *File/Get info/Info>track number X*
c.) select whole album *File/Get info/<yes>/>track number of X*
If that is not the problem, then it possibly the menu (on the iPod) that you've chosen to use to see the album. Which one have you used?

Shuffle will not play podcasts in order

I have downloaded a French Lesson podcast - which I found through iTunes. No matter how I import the lessons (i.e. directly from the library, or if I make a playlist for the lessons) the will NOT play in order on my iPod Shuffle. I DO have it switched to "play in order" - not shuffle songs. I have rearranged the lessons many times so that #1 on the playlist is Lesson 1, #2 is Lesson 2 and so on. But when I go to play them, the shuffle will start randomly on lesson 9 or 5 - even if I hold down the button to restart it at the beginning. So basically, I never know what lesson I'm in and it's very frustrating.
Can anyone help?

Following is just a default description which applies to most. There are many differences in how it actually works on specific systems, and all sorts of ways to futz with the system to try to make it work differently. Keeping in mind that YMMV:
a. Podcasts are one of the special classes in iTunes. The only sort possible with Podcasts in iTunes, as podcasts, is on release date. That's the only column you can click on to reorder things.
b. All else being equal, podcasts will only play on the iPS in the same order that they are ranked in iTunes itself.
c. By 'in iTunes' I mean in the Podcasts playlist. You can re-order things in pretty much whatever way you want to in playlists you create yourself, but that won't (in most cases) affect the play order.
As for some other things:
1) Podcasts won't play at all unless you're in the 'Play In Order' position. That doesn't have any actual meaning with its order or play, however.
2) You don't hold any button down to restart it at the beginning. A quick triple-click of the Play button does that.

Why will my newly downloaded audiobook not play?

I downloaded Vultures Picnic as an audiobook in Itunes store. It downloaded but it will not play.

From my experience, audio books can be played from the iPad directly, or exported from your computer (which is your situation). You can do this through iTunes, though I imagine external software can be used.
I'd suggest opening iTunes, loading the book, and syncing. Presuming the setup is good, the transfer should be easy.
Post if you have additional questions!

Why does my phone not play music in order

When I play music off my Iphone it always skips to different parts of the song, such as it will play the middle bit first, then the begining of the song, then the end. When I play the songs on my iTunes it works perfect, soon as i drag a song on to my phone it does not work, can anyone explain to me how i can fix this problem?

What's this "paying them in the" business? I don't "use an app". I go to a site. See a video I want to play. I select play. I am directed to update to the latest in Flash at Abobe. I go there, and I am told that Flash Videos will not play on th iPad. That's like having a stereo that won't play only classical music. Or a TV that censors certain channels. Open up the WORLD, you MFs! Not just the part that succumbed to you financial demands. Try serving US.

IPod does not play songs in order - iPod Shuffle 1GB

When I drag songs to the iPod it adds them to the end of the list and then I sort by song name. When I play them on the iPod they are played at the end. When I hook up the iPod they are listed in the right order but that's not how they are played.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to get around it?
Thanks in advance.

Not playing songs in order (premium and not on shuffle)

Hye guys, long time lurker first time questioner.I have spotify on my iPhone 6 64 gig running iOS 8.4 and spotify version 3.6.0.923. In the last few days I've noticed that spotify doesn't always play albums that are in 'Your music' inthe correct order. I am a premium member and shuffle is turned off on the device so it would usually just play from the song I've selected until the ned of the album. The application is not doing this currently. It may play several songs in the correct orderbut after a few songs it'll just start playing in the wrong order. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Hello there!
What you are experiencing might be a bug.
Have you tried closing the app and its process and then reopening it?
Does restarting your phone help?
If nothing works, maybe a clean reinstallation will do it:
On the home screen, tap and hold the Spotify icon until it shakes.
Tap the X symbol on the icon.
Hold the Home and Power buttons down together until the Apple logo appears.
Open the App Store then search for and install the Spotify app.
Keep in mind that a clean reinstall will delete all data stored by Spotify, so you'll need to sync your offline music again.
If nothing fixes the issue, then maybe the next Spotify update fixes it.
Hope this helps! ♫

Itunes not playing songs in order

Hi,
Ever since upgrading to 11.0 iTunes won't play an album. I doubleclick to play the first track of either an album or in a playlist and then after the song is done it doesn't move on to the next song. I have to go back and doubleclick again. Also, clicking the "next" button doesn't work either, it just stops the song. The shuffle is not on neither is the repeat icon.
Is this a bug that needs to be fixed? Because at this moment I cannot listen to an album in sequence on my computer and that seems like pretty standard stuff that a media player should be able to do.
When in my Music library, I click on a song and then click next and it takes me way down the alphabet, it will play that whole song and then it will go to another track further down my library. And then back up again to the second song it went to and then just loop between these 4 albums. I have 50 GB of songs in my library so howcome it's jumping bewteen only 4 of them??

Have you tried checking all the songs you wish to play? Normally the collumn for placing a check is the first on the left. This worked for me.

When downloading iTunes U content from MIT OCW, the courses are not listed in proper order.

The only sort/play orders are "Oldest" and "Newest," neither of which are the correct order for the lectures.

I still have this problem also. Someone at Apple suggested I create a playlist and sort it manually. I did this but then couldn't pull up the playlist in iTunes U or music. For my courses it makes the app impractal. There are usually about 120 sections in each class to sort throughto find the next section.
