Display artists in alphabetical order and albums in chronological order.

I have my iTunes library set to display artists in alphabetical order and albums in chronological order. This is the sorting option preferred by every person I've ever spoken to about it. The touble is nobody I've ever spoken to can tell me how to get my device (4S64, 5.1.1) to follow suit. iTunes on my phone insists on listing albums alphabetically. Since I (we) already know all the letters of the alphabet and in which order they occur this kind of sorting is of no benefit. Somebody please put me (us) out of our misery and reveal whichever secret soft switch must be flipped to make this happen. Also, if possible, I would rather do the alphabetical "Artist" sorting by last name rather than first but I have not seen an option for that either.
Thank you in advance.

There is no secret soft switch for Album by Artist by Year on iOS.
If you want your artists sorted by last name first then edit the corresponding sort values.

Is it possible to display artist's albums in chronological order instead of alphabetical?

Is it possible to display artist's albums in chronological order instead of alphabetical?

Afternoon rockmyplimsoul, thank you for the info on changing the sorting order - one question though how do you do this on the iPod ?
Even if your artists are sorted in the library in chronological order by release date, which is cool, when its transferred to the iPod it still gets sorted in alphabetical order. This is frustrating as I like to listen to one artist's music in order of release date, which I cant because its in alphabetical order.
Can you assist please.
Thank you

Can't get albums in chronological order

I'm having an issue where I can't get the artists albums in chronological order. I have all the artist in alphabetical order but now I want their albums in year order. It looks like the albums are in alphabetical order. To give you an example...AC/DC is first...Back in Black (1980) is before High Voltage (1976). I know it probably sounds petty but it drives me crazy that its not in the correct order! lol... I did a search and couldn't find my answer thats why I'm posting. Thanks in advance.

What if an artist releases two albums in the same year.
Is there a way to force iTunes to follow true chronologic order?
iTunes only references the year of release for songs, not the month and day, so if an artist has two albums in the same year, they will be sorted alphabetically. You could change the year of one of them to force it to show up in the order you want. Not a perfect solution, but just an idea.

Putting Albums in chronological order?

I was wondering if there was a way to get iTunes to put the albums of the artists in chronological order, rather than alphabitical order. The way I like to have my CDs arranged in my CD case is alphabetically by artists, and if the artisits has more than one album, I want those in the order that they were released, and I just can't seem to find a way to do with with my music on iTunes. Suggestions?

Like you and PT, I also have my (physical) CDs sorted by artist and the albums in chronological order.
iTunes can only set to sort on one column, but sometimes sorting is done on multiple criteria, so iTunes is capable of sorting on multiple columns.
If you sort on artist or album and have tagged the tracks with track and disc numbers, iTunes will also sort on these criteria.
Unfortunately sorting on multiple columns by the user, is not implemented.

How do you arrange the albums in chronological order in iPhoto ?

How do you arrange the albums in chronological order in iPhoto ? Madde 47

What do you mean your own albums that are in alphabetically order?
How did you do that?
I didn't try to make that happen, but no matter how I re-arranged albums using MartyLightroom's suggestion (below now), all of the iPhoto synchronized albums appear only in alphabetical order.

Open PIR quantity, unconverted Pld orders and open Prod/ STO orders

Dear all,
How to deal with open PIR quantity, unconverted planned orders and open production/ STO orders in the next MRP run? Do we need to delete/ reduce them manually?
Thanks and Regards,
Raghu

Hi Shiva,
Thanks for your immediate response. I have still some confusion.
Last month, I have material A with Production order quantity of 30000.
'A' has a component 'B' which is an in-house produced material. Three planned orders each of 10000 were generated for B. Of these two planned orders were converted to production orders. One is still in planned order form.
This month I am not going to use this planned order of B. I get new requirement for A. So during MRP run I get the planned orders for B also.
For the last month requirement, as I have not converted one planned order of B to prod order, there will an open quantity of A prod order in this plant and open STO quantity in another plant. Again the PIR will also be not reduced to the same extent. If I reduce the PIR manually or through some reorganization, what about the open quantity of prod order and STO
I think I can TECO the prod order of A. Is there any such thing for STO also?
Thanks and Regards,
Raghu

GR for Purchase order and GI for prod. order simultaneously

Hi Guys,
My client current has an external system, which does both GR for puchase order and GI for Prod. order at the same time. He is now migrating into SAP and he wants the same functionality. Do you have any idea how to do this.
For eg., Pick list(CO27) will pick and issue the components to production order, if the component is in inventory. if it is not there, it will give error.
Can we add, if material is not there, it should do GR and GI. is it possible with any customer exit in CO27?
Thanks
Srini

Hi,
In KANBAN, we have the possibility to do the GR (Goods Invard) if th container is Full and GI (to the production Order) if the Container is Empty.
It's just a thaught..

Difference between snp planned order and pp/ds planned order

Hi to all,
can any one please explain the difference between snp planned order and pp/ds planned order. I am relatively new to this area

The primary differences are as below.
1. The master data for SNP Planned Order is SNP PPM/PDS where the minimum duration for an operation is a day. So it is used for rough cut capacity planning.
The master data for PPDS Planned Order is a PPDS PPM/PDS where operations are down to minute and second level. Moreover sequence dependent operation planning is possible in PPDS Planned Orders. It is for detailed capacity planning.
2. SNP Planned Orders are created in SNP while PPDS Planned Orders are created in PPDS or when transferred from ERP to APO.
3. SNP Planned Order need to be converted to a PPDS Planned Order before it can be used in the Execution System (ERP) for further processing - like conversion to Production Order. Moreover the category types of the orders are different in APO (EE for SNP and AI for PPDS).
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to have podcasts being played in chronological order instead of reversed chronological order in an iPod Classic?

Is it possible to have podcasts being played in chronological order instead of reversed chronological order in an iPod Classic? It is not an issue, just something that irritates me as I want to be able to listen to them in chronological order.

Yes, but you need to make a custom playlist to do so. There is no option on the classic to reverse the playback order.

Display Albums in Chronological Order in iPod

Hi,
I was wondering why albums appear in alphabetical order by deafault in iPod and there's no way to organize them by year to display them in chronological order.
Perhaps there is a way to do so and I haven't figured it out yet (besides adding the year to the album name, i.e. naming 'A Hard Day's Night' -> '1964 A Hard Day's Night')?
Is there another way to bypass or alter iPod's method of organizing album lists?
I know there have been several discussions on the subject already but I haven't found any solution yet and I'm sure others are looking for one as well.
Thanks in advance,
David

yeah well thanks for your dismissive reply
but I don't agree -
when you initially browse by "Artist" on the iPod,
then 'drill down', you are presented with a list of that
Artist's albums.
Maybe I'm an anal aspergerated mentalist, but on my shelves
at home, I generally have my CDs in alphabetical order
by artist, and then within that, in release order.
It's logical and what I'm used to seeing.
When I go into my Kraftwerk stash on the iPod,
I don't wanna see "AUTOBAHN" first in the list cos it begins
with "A", I wanna see Kraftwerk, Kraftwerk 2, Ralf und Florian, then Autobahn [substitute your own favourite artists here]
Moreover, never mind what I think, iTunes also thinks it's a useful way to display things,
since it already lets you do that - so why can't the iPod
do it too? it's all in the metadata...

Projects and Albums out of order

It used to be Projects and Albums would line up in alphabetical order when created in Aperture Libraries. It hasbn't been happening for me in recent updates, and I can't find a way to set this in preferences. Even worse, some times albums won't let me change their order — they snap into different order than I drag them in. Don't know what's happening.

When you drag any project or album, Aperture switches to Manual arrangement of all.
Click on the gear icon at the top right of the Library list Sidebar, choose Keep Projects and Albums arranged by, and choose alphabetic if that is what you want. You can't modify by dragging, though.

I pre ordered and album and an early release song was added to my music. However it says complete pre order and if i click that it says "Already Purchased". None of the other songs on the album will downloaded onto my music either. Help

I preo ordered the album "Lost Isles" by Oceans Ate Alaska and the first early realease song, "Floorboards" Was instantly downloaded into my music library. However, today, a new song was released early called "Blood Brothers". It hasn't been downloaded into my music library and will let me purchase it for 99p. The album also says next to it "Complete Pre Order" but if I click that it just says "Album already purchased". Please tell me how to get the album without having to individually buy each track when they are released, costing me at least another £7. :/

Maybe:
Pre purchased song wont download

Pre-Ordering and album with already-released single

I'm wondering if I pre-order an album, do I get the already released single right away?
I've noticed times where I've downloaded the single, then purchased the album after release without the "complete my album" option. It seems sometimes the singles are flagged as their own album, or can't complete a deluxe edition, etc.
I'd hate to have to pay for a single song twice. Any insight from regular iTunes users?
Thanks!

Pre purchased song wont download

Albums in chronological order?

Is there any way to get your albums in iTunes to go in chronological order instead of alphabetical (and also to get my iPod to sync this way?) Right now I have the album tags set so that it has the year before the album name (ie
"{2003} Interventions And Lullabies" and "{2006} Dog Problems") and it really is getting on my nerves. Any way I can fix this? Thanks

It won't sync that way... I too thought of retagging all my albums, or using sort fields, but I still want them to come up in alphabetical order when I choose Album on my iPod.
What I want is to be go Artists-> Album -> Chronologically sorted albums by artist (there are few enough of these that I can figure out alphabetical order myself if i so choose)...
Anyone hear anything to do this?

Re-sorting albums in chronological order?

I used to have all my iPhoto '09 albums organized in chronological order, I just added a new one to the bottom every month or so.
Unfortunately, I did something and now they're all in alphabetical order:
April 2008
April 2009
August 2008
August 2009
You get the idea.
How can I re-sort them into chronological order?

do it manually
or
rename them so the alpha sort works
2009-08-31
2009-08-21
2009-07-04
etc
There is no date sort - on alpha and it can not be undone
Suggest to Apple -- iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
