How do i change song order

Hello,
I have downloaded songs from different albums and have re-named the album to put them into a compilation.
The only problem is they are not in the order i want them.
How do i change the order of the songs?
Thanks

find the folder with the songs in, then rename the songs with the number for the order you want
e.g. "Track Name" change to 1 "Track Name"
"Track Name" change to 2 "Track Name"
etc...
then update your library

HT1660 How do I change the order of the songs in a playlist?

How do I change the order of the songs on a playlist. The songs seem to have rearranged themselves.

When viewing a playlist the left most column of numbers is the Play Order. If you click the heading of this column then it should restore the previously defined order. You will also be able to drag tracks up and down the list. If you decide to sort on another column heading, say Album by Artist, you can right-click the playlist name and then click Copy to Play Order to ensure the new order is copied to any device that syncs with the library.

Hello Pokerplayer62,
In order to update the order of items in your playlists on the iPod Nano, you have to update them on the computer, and then sync the updated playlists to your device.
From the iPod Nano User guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_us/ipod_nano_features_guide.pdf
To set iTunes to update iPod nano automatically with selected playlists:
Open iTunes and select iPod nano in the Source list. Click the Options button and click Music.
Select “Automatically update selected playlists only.” Select the playlists you want.
All the best,

How to Change Song Order in User-Created Playlist

I have several playlists that I've created by just adding a bunch of songs to. I then would like to go into those playlists and change the order that the songs are listed in so that they play in that new order (they are initially listed in the same order that I added them to that playlist - i.e. the 1st song added is the 1st song in the playlist, then 2nd song aded is listed as the 2nd track, etc.), but I can't figure out an easy way to do that. I cannot drag a song up; if I want to move it up, I have to drag every song above it down (and then they get all out of order!). If I try to drag a song up, it goes to the very bottom of the playlist when I release the mouse button!
How can I change the order of songs that I've added to a playlist? There's got to be an easier way!
Thank you,
Dennis

I already had the arrow pointing up in the track order header column, but your suggestion gave me an idea - I went up to "View" and then clicked on "Hide artwork column". That did the trick - I can now drag songs up and down in my playlists to change their order to my heart's content!
Thank you!
Dennis

How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

Kay,
If you are looking at the entire music library ("Music") you can sort by any of the columns by clicking the column header. If there is a column you can't see, enable it by going to View > View Options.
Within a playlist, you can do the same, and in addition you can click above the column of sequence numbers, which will then allow you to drag tracks up or down to get any order you wish.

Change Song Order in Library

First let me start by saying this is my first question. I woudl like to know how I cn change the order of a track number in the Library section of iTunes? I have imported several CDs, I had issues with one of them where it would not import the song due to the CD being scratched, I purchased the additonal required songs from iTune, however the order is not the original for example CD had 12 songs, I was able to import 8 songs, 1, 4,5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, I went and purchased tracks 2, 3, 6 and 7. I have the track view enable so I can look at what track the songs are, when I do the songs show up 1, , 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 6, and 7. I would like to change the order to be the same as the CD. i realize if I make a playlist I can do this and if I burn a CD I can also do this, I want to know how to do this in the actual iTunes Library.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem but it's a compilation album, so the artist name is different in each track, but the album is the same and the track order is clearly listed, so why does iTunes change the order of the tracks?????? Whether I check "compilation" or don't check compilation it's the same result, the song order changes in the playlist. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Change Song Order

This seems like a newbie question but...
I downloaded an album from eMusic. However, when viewed by 'Name' the tracks are not in the correct order in the Content Pane. I tried to drag a track to the correct position but it 'springs' back and won't move. On the other hand, they are in the correct order when sorted by 'Artist'. Short of creating a playlist, how does one change song/track order? Or, should I just use 'Artist' order and be happy?
Running iTunes 7. Thx for any help!

However, when viewed by 'Name' the tracks are not in the correct order
Of course not. They are sorted on the column you have selected to sort on.
Sort on Album, Track or *Album by Artist* columns to sort by Track #.
Short of creating a playlist, how does one change song/track order?
Change the fields or select a different column to sort on. However, you cannot drag songs up/down unless it is playlist and you have selected the very first column.
Or, should I just use 'Artist' order and be happy?
When you sort on Artist, they are in track # order. Isn't that what you want?

How do I change the order of the fields in my pdf form?

I am using pdf. form I made in Acrobat and distributing with Adobe FormsCentral. We use a table format for our teachers to fill out their field trip schedules and therefore use many different fields.
How can I change the order of the fields (not for tabbing, we figured that out)...so that when we receive our notification email, I can see the inforamtion in a specific order (Date, Time, School, Program, etc).
We would also like this same order to appear in the "View Responses" table. I know you can drag and drop the order in the table but we have over 100 fields and that is going to take a really long time.
Please help???

What do you mean by the "order they appear in the pdf structure"? What is the "Pdf structure"?
thank you for your help... this is really upsetting, as I thought we finally found a solution with Adobe Forms : (
We really need the fields to report back in a specific order and wouldn't have time to rearrange over 100 fields with every form that is submitted. We receive about 10-20 different forms a day (same form layout, just some of the fields will have to be prefilled depending on school/teacher reservation... so we have to name each form a different name, for each school).
Thank you again and maybe one day they will change that. Is there anyway to set it up in the web verison of Adobe FormsCentral to look similar to the table we have created?

I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4.

I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

How can I change the order of phone numbers in a contact?

I have contacts that have more than one phone number (I am sure we all have those in this day and age). The importance of the phone numbers varies over time and I want to have the most important one as first on the list. How can I change the order that phone numbers are displayed within a contact?
Thanks for any help.

Currently, the order in which the phone numbers appear (in a contact) is dependent on the sequence to which you enter them. There is no way to change that order other than re-entering them in the desired order.

How do I change the order of calendars, including some subscribed, in Calendar App?

I have a few calendars synced to iCloud, as well as some subscribed calendars, that are also pushed to iCloud. How can I change the order of these calendars in the list in the Calendar application?
I am aware that changing the order of calendars within the Calendar app will not work; you have to change the order of the calendars on iCloud.com, and the new order will propagate to your devices. But, subscribed calendars do no appear on iCloud.com. I can change the order of my own calendars on iCloud.com, and that relative order does appear in my desktop application; But, how can I position subscribed calendars within that list, given that they aren't displayed on iCloud.com? They seem to appear randomly within the list, and there is no way to control where they appear.
Is there a way to control the order of the calendars within the Calendar application? (seems ridiculous that you can't)
What determines the order of subscribed calendars within the list?
I am using the Calendar application (formerly iCal) on Mac OS X 10.8.5, with iCloud.

Have you tried clicking and dragging them into the order you want in the Calendar application?

How do I change the order of blog entries?

How can I change the order of my blog entries? I want to add some extra items with an earlier date but iWeb won't let me drag the entries around and insists they must stay in the order of the creation date. What do I do?

Chris...
yeah, I'm probably not making myself clear... change the date on the podcast page entry. Select the entry you want to edit, then move your mouse down to the actual page that appears below. On that page, below the title, is a date. Change that. It will change the date published in the entry list above.

This is the standard listing... day spelled out, Month and day number, year. iWeb has to see it in this format to make the changes above.

How do I change the order of input tables in joiner?

I have 3 input tables in a JOINER, how can I change the order? for instance, the order now is: t1, t2, t3, for some reason, I want to change to t3, t2,t1.
I use outer join among tables, different table order cause OWB generated different sql statement.
Please help! Thanks.

Unfortunately you cannot... The only way is to remove one group, then create a new one instead and re-connect the group...
