How do I sort by date added while maintaining track order?

Hello,
I'm trying to do what I think is a simple function in ITunes. I'd like to sort by "date added" and have the tracks line up sequentially by track number. In other words, when in Itunes, I'd like to have (from top of the library to bottom) my most recent album with tracks 1-10, listed, and then the next recent album and so forth. Almost like a most recent album. You can of course sort by date added, and scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, but then when Ituns plays, you start on the most recent album, it runs through that album, and then is done.
Any thoughts?

If you ever find the answer, I'd love to know as well. How odd is it that you can do this. I tried several searches for this in software hacks, and applications that let you alter icon views and the like. Can't believe the limited interest in correcting it either.
I was looking for a way to display screen shots of various jpeg elements with files names that double as instructions in a tutorial. Icon view allowed me to see pictures in a large enough size to use as instructions with the corresponding file names. All I would have had to do was screen shots assembled into a PDF and I would have been done. Having to retype every instruction along with copy, and pasting into a new document and so forth is more than double the work for any set of pictorial instructions.
Maybe Garage Band or some other application is the workaround until then. I'll let you know if I ever find a better workaround, or the solution.

Why is the file browser unable to sort by date added (Safari, Mail, etc)?

When I use the file browser (e.g. when I browse for a file to attach to an email or browse for a file to upload through a form) and try to sort by date added, it doesn't work.
I can see the column for "date added" and it displays the correct date. I can sort by other properties and it works. But when I sort by "date added" it lists files that were added a while ago under "today" and the files recently added are under "no date" (even though they all have a correct date). The list doesn't seem to change day-to-day (e.g. files under "today" remain the same).
Does anyone know what could be wrong? Am I the only one with this issue?

Performance tip: Keep the Desktop clutter-free (empty, if possible)
Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.
And it is why Apple invented 'Stacks' for Leopard.

Itunes (11.2.1)- ALBUM SORT BY DATE ADDED ?

Hello,
So before updating to Itunes version 11.2.1 my albums in itunes were visible and were sorted by ''date added''(even though I never chose this option). So the case would be that everytime I added a new song it would appear at the very end of my itunes library under ''Albums''. After updating it however, I have encountered a problem; Now my albums section is sorted in another way (Alphabetical order), So any newly added music will appear somewhere deep within all my other songs and not at the end of my library of albums.
Please help me resolve this problem since I have invested into music for many years, and can't find my music now.

I use an older iTunes so I don't know exactly how they have hte new one set up. Presumably there is still a list view mode. Use view options to display the date added column then sort by that.

I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and it duplicated virtually every track in my music library. I need a quick way to delete the duplicates. Sorting by "Date Added" will not help because they are all listed as added on 12/12/2011.

Library Duplicated
I just updated to the latest version of iTunes and it duplicated virtually every track in my library. I need a quick way to delete the duplicates. Sorting by "Date Added" will not work, because every track is listed as added on 12/12/2011 even though this happened today 12/19/2011.

I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.

Can I still use the phone in Boston when I move there?
Only on a supported GSM carrier.
Will there be networks I cant use?
Yes. CDMA networks.
As I understand it the 4S supports GSM and CDMA networks worldwide.
No, you've misunderstood. The GSM iPhone you can buy in Ireland supports GSM networks only i.e. AT&T

When I drag music from a folder that contains songs by different artists and then sort by date added it shows the songs in alphabetical order by artist?

When I drag a bunch of songs with different artists from a folder on my computer to the itunes library and sort by Date added it puts them into alphabetical order by artist. I am able to workaround this by using date modified. Why does itunes do this? This started happening in July. Prior to that never had this problem. Been adding my music the same way for almost a decade.

They are added in the same minute. I do not see the second area next to that if it should be. I'm guessing an update to a newer itunes build is responsible. It's a shame. I am using the sort by date modified. But now whenever I modify a file in Itunes it automatically moves it to the top of the list. I am trying to keep the newest stuff at the top of my itunes.

How do I know the "date added" for a file ?

Hello,
With Leopard, the folders in the dock can be sorted by "date added" (date when the file was added to the folder).
Does anyone know a way to know this date for a given file ?
I hope my english was clear enough :o)
Thanks

Thanks for your answer, but in the view options, I only have the creation date and the modification. The "Added" is not available.
Any idea ?

Sort by date added actually sorts by album v1.0.10

When I try to sort by date added, it sorts it by album for some reason. Squash this bug please.

Hey gapdude101,
Just saw your response this evening. I did a fast search again and I found something that's solved my problem of my iTunes playlists not showing up in the same order on my iPhone or iPad Remote app. I right-clicked on the playlist in iTunes and selected Copy to Play Order, and I saw the play order on the playlist on my iPhone sync in real time to what I had on the screen in iTunes. That seems to have solved my problem. Here's a link to the other article on Apple Support on here where I found this...
"If you like the way iTunes has shuffled the play order of one of your play lists, you can use the "Copy to Play Order" shortcut menu command to make the shuffled play order the permanent play order." http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27500?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

HT1451 Change "Date Added" of all tracks

This method is working, but the "Date Added" field of all tracks is reset to the current date, so all history information is lost. How can we force the "Date added" field to conserve its value ?

Transpose either +7 or -5.

When I sort by date added in Column View in Finder, how can I make the most recent files appear at the top of the list?(Mavericks)

In 10.8, when I sorted Finder by date added or date created in column view, the most recent files would appear at the top of the list. Currently, this happens as it should in every single view mode EXCEPT column view (which is pretty much the only view I ever use). Currently, I have a folder with over 2000 files in it that date back to 2011, so now I have to scroll for like ten minutes just te get to files that were most recently added. Who in their right mind would want to sort by last modified with the oldest result listed FIRST? Ridiculous. I can't figure this out. Any help?

Thanks for the reply leroydouglas! Unfurtunately this doesn't cause the column to be ordered correctly either. After selecting this option, the files seem to be ordered by label, and the most recently added file is somewhere in the middle of the list. I'd like it to be at the top, and have other files/folders descend in retrochronological order by their add date.
Any other input from the community would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just confirming that this is/is not expected behavior. I'd be super bummed to find out that this IS expected behavior, as it's really counterintuitive and extremely inconvenient.
Thanks again!

IMporting multiple albums at once: sort on date added AND album or artist

When importing multiple albums at once, iTunes ads them in the library in an all mixed up order.
This makes it very annoying to change song info. I have to multi-select songs from the same album (clicking while pressing the control button) and then change stuff.
1. Why can't iTunes automaticaly keep tracks from the same album together when adding new music from multiple albums?
2. Why can't we sort by added date AND another column like artist or album?
any solutions are very welcome
greetz

The order iTunes is showing the tracks can be changed. Select the album column heading to get tracks list in album order. Normally within an album the tracks will list in track order when viewing this way.

Sorting with date added list

****0,
I was wondering if there was a way to sort by Album, but at the same time by Date Added.
Sometimes when I add multiple albums at once into Itunes, they do not load in the correct order and then subsequently modifying the individual files from each album is more difficult to do.
So, anyway to search both Date Added and view the album in order at the same time?
Windows XP

How about creating a smart playlist using the criteria "Date Added" -- or using the existing "Recently Added" smart playlist -- then sort that smart playlist by Album.

Song order on ipod problem ( only sorted as date added)

Basically what the title states. I just got a new Ipod (30G) and I just finished putting 1000+ songs on it, it was hard work but i finally got it. Yet I found out that my ipod is doing to the same things my other one was doing, Instead of sorting the songs in Alphabetical order by Artist in my playlist, it will only sort it by date added instead.
I put my songs manually instead of syncing and Im not about to reorganize all my songs on Itunes for this problem.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks.
Windows XP

I'm not letting this question die out here.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks.

How to skip an entire data packet while data loading

Hi All,
We want to skip some records based on a condition while loading from PSA to the Cube, for which we have written a ABAP code in Start Routine .
This is working fine.
But there is a Data packet where all the records are supposed to be skipped and here it is giving Dump and Exception CX_RSROUT_SKIP_RECORD.
The ABAP Code written is
DELETE SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE FIELD = 'ABC' .
And for a particular data packet all the records satisfy the condition and gets deleted.
Please advice how to skip the entire data packet if all the reocrs satisfy the condition to be deleted and handle the exception CX_RSROUT_SKIP_RECORD .

Hi All,
The Dump I am getting is :
The exception 'CX_RSROUT_SKIP_RECORD' was raised, but it was not caught
anywhere along
the call hierarchy.
Since exceptions represent error situations and this error was not
adequately responded to, the running ABAP program 'GPD4PXLIP83MFQ273A2M8HU4ULN'
has to be terminated.
But this comes only when all the records in a particular Data Packet gets skipped.
For rest of the Data Packets it works fine.
I think if the Data Packet(with 0 records) itself can be skipped this will be resolved or the Exception will be taken care of.
Please advice how to resolve this and avoid 'CX_RSROUT_SKIP_RECORD' at earliest .

How to re-sort Table data like A-Z and Z-A

Hello Gurus,
How can i re-sort Table data based on last name or first name, once table filled data from backend(i mean, once executed RFC, Table will be filled with data records, after that i want to re-sort table).
Can you provide me code, how to do?
Thanks
Venkat.

Hi Venkat,
For sorting to table columns, you need to pick up the code from here and add into a java file within your development component.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/TableSorterClassfor+WebDynpro
Then, you can call the constructor of the class and pass the arguments to enable table sorting in your code.
Refer to following blog for execution
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417100)ID1078501850DB00490474849923920126End?blog=/pub/wlg/3287
Let me know, if the problem persists.
