Episodes/Song in Reverse Order

I upgraded my iPod Touch software to 2.2, and all of the chapters in my audiobook podcasts are now in reverse order. (They are downloaded from Librivox.)
All of the chapters are in correct order on iTunes and when my iPod is hooked up to iTunes, the sidebar shows that the chapters should be in correct order. But on the iPod itself, the chapters are reversed.
I have tried both Syncing and Restoring.

It's a podcasting defect. I reformatted the audiobooks as audiobooks--not as podcasts--and everything's fine.

How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)

How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)
So I'm adding new songs to a very old playlist? Is there anyway that when I add them, they automatically go to top of playlist? How about getting one song to the top of a playlist. That drag to arrange function is very annoying because it is slow and the playlist does not scroll up very well on a PC.

Make a new playlist by pressing the little plus button at the very lower left corner of iTunes. An new playlist will appear in the Source pane called "untitled playlist". While the name is highlighted, you can change it to whatever you want. Drag all of the tracks from all the albums that comprise a single book to that playlist. Sync that playlist to your iPod.

Songs are in reverse order on iPad, but correct on iTunes

I have a number of Smart Playlists that look fine when displayed on iTunes, but when iTunes copies them to my iPad Air, the list of albums shows up in the correct order but the songs in each album are sorted in reverse order.
So for example, I have a Smart Playlist defined where "Artist is Jean Michel Jarre". That playlist is sorted by Year in list view and by Year-then-Title in Grid view.
When I look at that same Playlist on my iPad Air, all of his albums appear in chronological order (which I expect), but the songs on each album are listed last-to-first. So Oxygene (his first album) shows up before Equinoxe (his second album), but the list of songs on the Oxygene album are shown as: Part VI, Part V, Part IV, Part III, Part II, Part I. All of the albums on the list are in the right order, but the list of songs on each album appears backwards in each one.
This is just one example of a bug that manifests itself a lot on my iPad. I have a lot of Smart Playlists that misbehave just like this. I deal with it by creating not-smart playlists that are exact copies of the Smart Playlists -- but honestly, why offer Smart Playlists if they're not going to display correctly? If they're this buggy, why am I using them at all?
Does anybody know of a workaround for this bug? Does anybody know whether Apple is aware of it, and if they have any plans to fix it? Please? Maybe? Someday?

I am now home from work, and over the past hour I have tried every combination of up-arrows, down-arrows, Copy To Play Order, sorting on the leftmost column, sorting on the Year column, etc. etc. that I could think of. I believe I have followed your recommendations slavishly and to the letter.
My Jean Michel Jarre Smart Playlist is sorted with the triangle on the leftmost column, and in iTunes, the playlist order is correct. I have sync'd my iTunes library to the iPad several times, I have unchecked that playlist, performed the sync again to remove it from the iPad entirely, checked it again and performed the sync again -- I have also tried closing the Music app on the iPad and restarting it -- I've also tried deliberately sorting the tracks in iTunes in reverse order to see if the iPad does anything any differently, including a "Copy to Play Order" for good luck -- and every combination of all of these choices results in exactly the same outcome: on the iPad, albums show up in chronological order, and tracks in each album show up in reverse order. Nothing I do makes any difference at all.
Here's hoping iOS 8 at least doesn't make things any worse. Maybe if the gods are smiling, it might actually solve this problem. I was hoping that the upgrade to iTunes 11.4 might have made a difference, but, sadly, no such luck ... which is why my hopes for salvation in iOS 8 are not high ... but that doesn't stop me from being grateful to you for trying to help. Thank you for your time. I do appreciate it.

I wonder if we haven't misunderstood what you were asking for. Could it be that you have not a huge file, but just a huge list of names in many small files. If that's the case, you should rather use the following script instead of the previous one.
Since this script does not rename the files, make a backup of your files before running it.
set theFolder to choose folder -- the folder containing your text files
tell application "Finder"
    set theNames to name of files of theFolder whose name extension is "txt"
end tell
set theTextFiles to {}
set theFolderPath to POSIX path of theFolder
repeat with thisName in theNames
    copy theFolderPath & thisName to the end of theTextFiles
end repeat
repeat with thisFile in theTextFiles
    set F1 to open for access thisFile
    set theText to read F1
    close access F1
    set theParagraphs to paragraphs of theText
    set bigList to (a reference to theParagraphs)
    set theNewParagraphs to {}
    set bigNewList to (a reference to theNewParagraphs)
    repeat with X in bigList
        set P to offset of " - " in X
        if P = 0 then
            set Y to X
        else
            set Y to text (P + 3) through -1 of X & " - " & text 1 through (P - 1) of X
        end if
        copy Y & return to the end of bigNewList
    end repeat
    set theNewText to text 1 through -2 of (bigNewList as text)
    set F2 to open for access thisFile with write permission
    set eof F2 to 0
    write theNewText to F2
    close access F2
end repeat

Podcast audiobook episodes in reverse order

I upgraded my iPod Touch software to 2.2, and all of the chapters in my audiobook podcasts are now in reverse order. (They are downloaded from Librivox.)
All of the chapters are in correct order on iTunes and when my iPod is hooked up to iTunes, the sidebar shows that the chapters should be in correct order. But on the iPod itself, the chapters are reversed.
I have tried both Syncing and Restoring.

I had a similar thing happen, not to an audio book, but a sequence of MP3s of a concert staged reading of a show of mine. I tried all kinds of tricks in re: interpolating sequenve numbers at the start of filenames, putting files in manually, etc. -- everything except syncing, because I'm not keen on relinquishing even partial manual control of contents. Then rather by accident I found the solution. Or at any rate MY solution. And it's ridiculously easy.
(1) Make sure all the playlist's MP3 files are in a folder on your desktop, named so that when you view them as a list, you see them in chronological order.
(2) Attach your iPod to your Mac and boot iTunes.
(3) in iTunes select your iPod and create a new playlist.
(4) Drag the playlist folder -- not its contents, but the folder ITSELF -- to the new playlist window; the files will be copied in order.
That's it. When you remove your iPod from the Mac, the correct order of the previously troublesome playlist should be retained and not reversed. Or at least that's what worked for me.

My I-Pod plays all podcast in reverse order such as 3.2.1 no matter how I arrange them in I-Tunes. How do I get my I-Pod to play in the proper 1,2,3 sequence?

My 3rd gen I-Pod plays all podcast in reverse order, even if I manually try to load it. I will only automatically play in 3,2,1 order. Even brought it to the Apple Store and they couldn't figure it out either. Even bought another I-Pod and still plays in reverse order. Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance for any help, Ty

They did not order the podcasts correctly in the playlist then. Several people, including myself, have been able to play podcasts in sequential order.
When viewing the playlist in iTunes, look to the far left of each episode. There should be a number next to it. This is the ordering of the playlist. Sort the playlist in sequential order and view the numbering along the leftmost column and see if the ordering matches up as desired. If they don't, you'll need to drag and drop tracks until they are.
Once the ordering is as desired, right->click on the playlist and choose Copy to Play Order. Then resync the playlist over to your iPod.

How can I get iTunes to NOT fill iPod shuffle in reverse order?

Any ideas?? iTunes loads my iPod shuffle in the reverse order when I drag tracks from my Music Library to my iPod. This is important because I like to listen to audiobooks during my workouts. All I want is to listen to the first track first and not the last track!
It seems as if the issue arose when I updated to the latest iTunes (7.1.1.5). The previous version worked just fine for me.
I reloaded a book that I listened to previously. Although it loaded up several weeks ago OK, now it too loads the tracks in the reverse order.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!!

After a couple of days, I'm noticing that the repeat(ing) offenders have more than 10 episodes, and seem to keep repeating them every time I sync.
They only show once in my phone and in the iTunes Podcasts, but through iTunes and looking at what's in my phone is when I see the repeats.
Even after I've marked a podcast as played, and deleted it from within my phone, as well as telling iTunes to delete the played episodes, it still shows multiples of the played episodes.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. They aren't the newest ones either.

When downloading updates from iTunes to my iPhone my playlists appear in reverse order with least played at the top. I just want the playlist to appear in the same order as my iTunes library. This seems to have changed after downloading iCloud

When dowloading updates from my iTunes library onto my iPhone
my playlists appear in reverse order with the least played at the top of the list
and most played at the end on the playlist.
Therefore I cant play my favourites in the order that I like to hear them.
This all changed when I recently downloaded the iCloud application.

Hi Jim,
Is this temporary cache accessing my data when I play songs from it? As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm still able to listen to these songs even when my phone is in airplane mode and the download icon is still present next to said songs. This implies that the songs are already downloaded onto my phone even if I didn't opt to download them directly from the cloud -- they're on my phone because my phone was shuffling my library on a wifi network.

Playlists are all in reverse order

i've got a 32gb touch, 2nd gen, running xp, latest itunes... blah blah
for some odd reason. all my playlists are in the reverse order...is there anything i can do, besides restoring my ipod?

okay there's some sort of error with handling playlists...if you select songs in itunes, and then select "create new playlist from selection", for some reason it shows up in the reverse order on the ipod...
sorting won't make a difference.... what i did was manually drag and drop songs to playlists.... restoring the ipod didnt work.... sigh... please iron out these bugs apple!

ATV syncs itunes (some) playlists with songs in reverse

I just installed my new Apple TV and sync'd to my itunes collection.
Unfortunately, some playlists show up on the ATV with the songs in completely reversed order. My playlists are complete operas which need to be heard in their native seaquential order (no use having Butterfly die at the begining of the opera!). The playlist on my PC still show the correct order, but the ATV has them reversed. Anyone have an idea for a fix? thx!

right click on the playlists in itunes and choose "copy to play order".
re-sync the appletv and they should now show correctly.

Iphone songs out of order?

Iphone songs out of order?
Why on my new Iphone4s do my songs appear out of order? It did not do this on my old ipod touch?
The songs are not pirated and are in order in itunes by user ratings.

This may help for a variety of sorting problems.
For a Most Recently Added Playlist for music on iPhone 4, iOS 5.0, iTunes 10.5 (141), Here's what worked for me after lots of experimenting:
To Create a "100 Newest" playlist:
1. In iTunes, delete any previous 'X Newest" playlists if they've not been syncing correctly since iOS 5 update, especially if they have referenced other playlists. In my experience if these playlists are not syncing in the correct order, there is nothing you can do to make them sync in the correct order - cut your losses and delete.
2. In iTunes under 'Library' in the sidebar, select 'Music" I think this may be CRITICAL
3. From the 'File' menu select 'New Smart Playlist'
4. In the pop up box that appears, check 'Match the following rule:'
5. In the next line, in the pop-up menus, select the following: 'Media Kind', 'is', 'Music'
6. Check the "Limit to" checkbox and enter the '100' in the box, and then select the follwing option in succeeding popup lists: 'items', selected by 'most recently added'
7.You may check either or both of the options 'Match only checked items' and 'Live updating' - in my experiments these had no effect.
8. Click 'OK' and name your smartlst '100 Newest' or anything you'd like.
Here's something to note:
In your iTunes 'Music Library', the sort order is newest song at the top of your library when the LIBRARY is sorted by 'Date Added' and the small triangle has it's apex pointing down. To me this means the LATEST song is on top.
In your '100 Newest' playlist, to sort so the newest song is at the top of the playlist when the PLAYLIST is sorted by 'Date Added' , you'll note the triangle is oriented with the apex pointing up. To me this signifies the 'YOUNGEST ADDED' song is on the top.
However you view those two items, it's interesting that you'd expect the sort order might be reversed according to the triangle orientations, but it's not. And that's one of the sorting problems I had with syncing my playlists - newest were on the bottom on my iPhone playlist, but on the top in the playlist in my iTunes Library. Certainly not a consistant user interface.
Also note that if you've used a previous hint in referencing a dated order playlist to avoid a previous iTunes playlist syncing bug, those lists now won't sort properly any longer. As I said - cut your losses and start anew.
Hope this helps someone else. It took me a long time to get right.

Did they take out the free section, you know where they might offer a free episode/song/video/etc in one spot (or at least did they for Canada)? I can find the english song of the week, but that is it...

Nevermind. For some reason it loaded wrong/poorly/? It was back after I closed itunes down and re-opened it.
Thanks though

Scanned items show up in REVERSE order

HP, please be more desriptive. I read previous posts and still cannot fix.
When I scan a 5 page document, 1-5, it shows up on my MAC 10.9 in the order 5-1.
One of your posts says in the "Copy" settings on the printer to change to "Collate On", then save default.
I did this and it still shows up in the wrong order.
I scan large documents everyday and need to have in correct order.
Please help and be very specific!!!!
Thank you,
Terry

Hello tryii223,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand when you scan a document, then scans are showing in reverse order. Just to clarify this issue, I need to ask you some question:
I need to find out what type of printer do you have? Click here to find out: Model Number.
How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB?
Are you using the scanner glass or automatic document feeder? If you're using the automatic document feeder, are you placing these pages 1-5 or 5-1?
Please verify this information and I will assist you further. Have a great night!
I worked on behalf of HP.

How can I gift a playlist, with the songs in the order I choose?

How can I gift a playlist, with the songs in the order I choose, to a bunch of other people? Since iTunes won't allow me to burn a song more than a few times to disc, and I have to share playlists with my cover band (so we can learn songs), I need the capability to do this.

Drag them from where? I've tried to drag them from windows explorer and it won't allow me. It seems the only place I can drag files from is from the iTunes library list. The problem is there is no way that I can find to just see the songs from a specific folder on my drive in the iTunes library list. It sorts them by artist, album, genre, etc....but not by folder.

Reverse order in File- Open dialogue

The file/folder list in the File->Open dialogue window is "stuck" at showing in reverse order. I can right-click in the Open dialogue window and sort ascending, but the next time I open a file it is back to reverse order.
I have experimented with Explorer's view settings but Reader appears to ignore those. Other applications, for example Word, use Explorer's view settings and behave as I would expect.
I suspect that someone has inadvertently changed something on this PC. Perhaps there's a keystroke combination that changes the file display order persistently?
Any ideas, please?
Adobe Reader version 8.1.2
XP Pro SP2

I'm still struggling with this - does anyone know how to change the file sort order in the File->Open dialogue?
It must be possible to change it because it has somehow been changed to reverse order!
