Change sort order of Podcasts on iPod?

In iTunes, my podcasts are sorted in ascending order according by the Release Date field. I've also made sure that the different parts of a certain podcast episode has proper Track Numbers.
However, on my 5.5G iPod, the podcasts are sorted in a descending order (newest first) which plays everything backwards (i.e. a podcast with 4 parts play's part 4 first).
How can I change the sort order of my podcasts on my iPod?
I've noticed that even if all my podcasts have been given Track Numbers (usually 1-4 per episode), when they play on my iPod, it says "1 of 1" instead of "1 of 4" etc. Why is that?
Also, the most annoying thing is that after a podcast has played, I'm thrown out back to the main Podcast Menu. I then have to go back into Podcasts, choose the Podcast folder and then choose the next podcast to listen to. Very weird behavior.
My iPod is set to automatically sync with iTunes, so I can't change anything in iPod playlists in iTunes

i discovered this completely by accident.
connect your iPod to your computer.
click the podcast bit of your iPod on the left hand side. (so it brings up which podcasts you have on your iPod)
you can then click 'release date' to change the order from either newest or oldest first.
unfortunately you can only do this for your entire podcast collection. i subscribe to some audiobook podcasts, and for some reason the episodes seem to have been released with the earlier episodes on later dates, meaning listening to the sequentially would mean listening to them backwards, but otherwise this works perfectly.
hope that helps.

  • Change sort order on WF_NOTIFICATION(HISTORY) procedure - 11.5.10 Apps

    Is it possible to change the sort order of the lines in the Action History section that shows up on e-mail notifications?
    We are using Blanket Sales Agreements in Apps 11.5.10 CU1, including the delivered workflow approval notifications. My users are happy with the notifications except that they want the approval history table sorted in reverse so that the most recent action is at the top of the list.
    I have looked at the WF_NOTIFICATION procedure, but it's not just jumping out at me where to make this change, if possible. I'm also assuming that if I change this procedure that it will change for all notifications (PO, AP, etc.). Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
    Rhonda

    Hi,
    It is possible to change sort order on WF_NOTIFICATION(HISTORY).
    You can add an atribute to your WF Notifications (Messages) and add an "if" into WF_NOTIFICATION procedure to apply your sort routine just to that kind of notifications.
    Best regards,
    Luiz

  • IPod classic - sort order of podcasts

    I have a new iPod Classic 160 GB. Love it so far, but it has one annoying thing. In iTunes, I have my podcasts sorted from oldest to newest. There are some podcasts, like news and training podcasts that need to be listened from oldest to newest or the content gets confusing when listening out of order. When I sync podcasts to my iPod, it refuses to sort from oldest to newest (even though when I look at the sort order of my iPod in iTunes it does show the order correct, just not on the actual iPod). So when I start a podcast, it automatically plays going from newest to oldest, which is not what I want. Any way I can change that?

    This drives me crazy as well. I hope they fix this in a firmware update.

  • Change sort order manually

    Anyone noticed that in iTunes 7.2 you can no longer manually change the songs sort order? When I copy podcasts or songs on my iPod, sometimes I want to change the order in which they will play. In 7.1.1 I could simply upload the songs and drag and drop songs within iTunes to change the sort order. Since I have upgraded to 7.2, this does not work. Any idea ?

    I know what you mean. I just got the Queens of the Stone Age CD and I have song that didn't get put onto the CD.
    I'd like to put it on as the 8th track (out of 12) on the CD, but it won't move it. I've tried everything I can think of, including rearranging the tracks, deleting it and re-uploading it.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • What's the sort order for podcasts on the shuffle?

    Hi all... Can someone tell me how the iPod Shuffle orders podcasts? I've seen MANY posts saying there's no way to manually sort podcasts on the shuffle (which is crazy IMO), but at least if I know how it's ordering the podcasts that'll help me identify which one is next.
    I added 15 podcasts to the shuffle, and sorting by every category I can find none that matches the order the shuffle places the podcasts in.
    So first question -- what order are the podcasts stored in?
    And second question -- Why the heck did Apple do this? Why can't podcasts just be treated like standard MP3 songs?
    And finally if there's no answer to either of these, is there anyway to get ipodderx to sync to the ipod shuffle? I love itunes, but if it's going to hender my hardware I'll switch to something else.
    Thanks for any help on this, and take care --

    Hi Dean,
    I'm wondering if something's wrong with my podcast, because that's not what happens on mine. For example I have my podcasts in this order:
    NPR Technology
    Haunted New Jersey
    Autumn in New England
    Hometown Tales Podcast
    And even after selecting File then Update iPod and even right-clicking on ipod and selecting Copy to Play Order the order of the podcasts are :
    Haunted New Jersey
    Hometown Tales Podcast
    NPR Technology
    Hometown Tale Podcast
    Nothing I've done sorts the podcasts as they should be sort. Also i set it to not show the ipod unless it's connected, and when I sort the podcasts as I want, Update ipod, and plug ipod, plugging it back in shows the wacky sort order they're stored on the ipod. I can rearrange again, update again, eject and plug back in, and the crazy sort order (not mine) is back.
    Is there something I'm missing????

  • Changing sort order in iTunes does not change order on iPad

    If you create a new playlist (not a smart playlist) in iTunes, you can get the songs to order according to the track number or the name of the song or the size etc. It used to be that this selected sort order would be reflected in the corresponding playlists on the iPhone/iPad
    This doesn't seem to work using iTunes 10.6, iTunes Match and iOS 5.1 on my iPad 2.
    1. I create a new playlist in iTunes and name it Test.
    2. I sort this playlist by the Name column, so that the songs are in the A to Z order (Fernando, SOS, Waterloo)
    3. The new playlist appears on my iPad.
    4. The iPad playlist lists the songs in the order selected in iTunes.
    Now, back in iTunes, I click on the Name column again, so the names are now sorted in reverse. That is, from Z to A (Waterloo, SOS, Fernando). I also rename the playlist to Test 2 so that I know that the same playlist has been updated on my iPad.
    So the playlist Test 2 is now ordered by the song name from Z to A in iTunes. However, the playlist on the iPad does NOT reflect the new sort order. It is still ordered A to Z, not Z to A as I expected.
    5. Now I create a new playlist named Test 3. I open Test 2 (still in the order Z to A) and copy the songs to Test 3.
    6. The new playlist named Test 3 appears on the iPad.
    7. The songs are in the correct order.
    8. Change the order again in the playlist.
    9. The change in the order is NOT reflected on the iPad.
    Grrr. I quit the Music app (including the background process on the iPad) and launch it again. But the order of the songs in Test 2 is still not the same as in iTunes.
    Totally frustrated, I do the following:
    1. Quit all apps running in the background on the iPad.
    2. Go to Settings and turn off iTunes Match.
    3. Log out of the iTunes store.
    4. Restart my iPad so that the playlists disappear from my Music app.
    5. Turn iTunes Match back on.
    6. Log back into the Store.
    7. Wait for the iCloud to sync.
    8. Playlist Test 2 is still in the incorrect order! This is unbelievable.
    I have tried the Right-Click 'Copy to Play Order' trick that I read about in another post but it doesn't help.
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance.

    This isn't an issue of putting songs on that I don't want, it's that it doesn't CHANGE my music, even when I try to make it change.  I've got over 15000 songs in my iTunes; my iPod can only hold around 275 songs.  My problem, is that I can't make it "randomly" choose different songs.  when I try to change the music, it puts the same songs on over and over.
    Emphasis here is on RANDOM: I do not want to have to select the music to put on my shuffle. and
    CHANGE: If I only wanted to listen to the same 275 songs, I wouldn't have bothered purchasing the others...

  • Can't change play order of podcasts

    I'm using iTunes 5.0.1 and my iPod shuffle's firmware is 1.1.2. I can't seem to change the play order of podcasts withing the shuffle. I can move them between songs but their (the podcasts) order stays the same relative to each other, i.e. older podcasts always appear after newer ones (based on the date). I can rearrange them when the shuffle is connected and it says updating then ok to disconnect. The thing is, when I disconnect and reconnect, the podcasts' play order revert back.

    I discovered all of this to be the case last week when I bought my first shuffle.
    I checked the preference for 'leave this iPod in source list'. Then I unplugged the iPod and manually resorted the playlist (which consisted of music and podcasts). Later, I plugged the iPod back in and it updated. The playlist order appeared exactly as I had resorted it however, the changes were NOT transferred to the iPod.
    Podcasts and music are handled differently on the iPod shuffle. From what I tell, new podcasts are always placed first when the shuffle is updated. Music is placed last.
    Music (and audiobooks) can be manually resorted. Podcasts cannot.
    Only music is selected when the iPod shuffle is in 'shuffle' mode. To play podcasts (and audiobooks) your iPod shuffle MUST be in 'play in order' mode.

  • List of found events changes sort order when pasted from clipboard

    when I find a set of events in iCal, the list appears in the window at the bottom of the page in the correct sort order when sorted by date, title or type. When I then copy that list to the clipboard and paste it into another program (Pages, MacJournal, TextEdit) the sort order changes.
    I work mostly in English, but my macbookpro keyboard is German, so I assume the problem is with the language settings. I've tried changing the system preferences for language and sort order, and that changes the sort order, but it doesn't get it right.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Differences in sort order between iTunes and iPod

    Can someone explain how the sort order of artists / albums works? It seems that it is different between iTunes and the iPod. In iTunes (7.3.1) I can enter data in the fields for Artist, Album Artist, Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist. When I get the tracks to appear in the order I want in iTunes, it doesn’t seem to transfer across to my iPod. I know there are some differences in how the sort order works in both, but how is it different?

    ou must have an older iPod.
    I believe the new sort order only works on the new iPods (Nano and Video)

  • Changing Sort order in iTunes

    I need to change the sort order in iTunes, pretty much like clicking on the browser header until the sort is "album by artist". Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks

    Took me a long time to get past the inconsistencies that Accessibility Inspector was revealing in iTunes. I finally ran a verify in Accessibility Verifier and discovered some inaccurate reporting in the Inspector. This works. Figured I would share it.
    If things are changed to "Album", it will not do more than re-sort that column. It will not change the Album by... setting. I hope I can figure that out.
    -- This will ensure that the artist column is sorted in ascending order
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "iTunes"
    --read sort of grouping column
    set groupSort to (get value of attribute "AXSortDirection" of button "Artist" of group 1 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1)
    -- click button to select artist column if necessary
    if (groupSort = "AXUnknownSortDirection") then
    click button "Artist" of group 1 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
    end if
    -- set to ascending if necessary
    if (groupSort = "AXDescendingSortDirection") then
    click button "Artist" of group 1 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
    end if
    end tell
    end tell

  • Changing Sort Order in Smart Album when Looking for Roll Name=Corruption

    We've confirmed via testing and from new posters that changing the sort order in a Smart Album who's criteria is to look for a roll name will cause iPhoto to crash and then crash upon launch after that.
    So to avoid corrupting your library do not change the sort order of a Smart Album designed to locate rolls.
    The thread discussing this is:
    IPhoto keeps on crashing, cannot use it
    Rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager recovered the library. However, I don't know if a rebuild via the Control+Option key will do the same.
    G5 Dual Core 2GHz, 2G RAM, 22 Display, 250G HD, 200G FW HD, QT 7.0.4P   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Canon S400, i850 & LIDE 50, Epson R200, 2G Nano

    Ha! I upgraded to iPhoto 6.0.3 and opened the dummy library I had created. (This was the library where the crash on launch kept happening because I had a smart folder looking for rolls and sorted by title or something else other than the default.)
    Guess what, it opened just fine! 6.0.3 fixes the crash. Not sure how much it helps people who started new libraries, but at least others won't run into this.

  • How to change sort order when viewing all tracks by an artist?

    When I choose:
    Music --> Artists --> <any artist> --> All
    The tracks are organized in the order they apear in an alphabetized list of that artist's albums.
    For example:
    Joe Blow - CD 1
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    Joe Blow - CD 2
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    In the "All Songs By Artist" list, the songs appear as:
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    How can I cange the sort order, so that they are sorted alphabetically, like this?
    Track 1
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 2
    Track 3
    Track 3
    Thanks,

    I'm pretty sure you can't do that.

  • How to change sort order for Notes in iOS?

    When using Notes in OS 10.10, I can change the sort order. However, I cannot see how to change the sort order for Notes in iOS8 on my iPhone. I sync using iCloud, but the iPhone does not pick up the sort order (alpha) that I have chosen on my MBP.
    Is it possible to change the sort order on phones?
    Thanks.
