How to manage the order of music albums on ipad?

Ipad's MUSIC app obstensibly shows all my albums, in ALBUM view, in alphabetical order.  I have about 20 different versions of "Dark Side Of The Moon" all by different artists but they are all named different things ("Dub side..." "Return to the Dark Side..." "Not So Bright Side...") so the albums appear all over the page, amongst my other music, which makes sense.
However, I'd like to organize them so they all appear next to each other.  So when I'm in the moon for "Dark Side Of The Moon" I can easily look in one section and choose more easily.  I tried renaming all those albums with a zero in front of the album name.  For example, "0Dark Side Of The Moon," "0Sleepy Side of the Moon," etc.  I thought I was pretty clever.  Problem is, roughly three quarters of the albums responded to this renaming.  Others retained the new zero-prefix name but did not react alphabetically.  The Flaming Lips' "0Dark Side Of The Moon" Still appears in the "D"s, while many, if not all, of the other albums all went to the end of the list.  Something is blocking these albums from reacting to the alphabetical renaming.
I also tried changing the "GENRE" catagory of all these albums to "DSOTM."  Clever, I thought to myself.  But when I viewed that genre, it listed all the SONGS in alphabetical order, not the albums.  Ugh...
Would greatly appreciate any insight to this.

What you are attempting to do should work (I'll leave the obsession with DSOTM between you and your mental health professional   - I always preferred Wish You Were Here myself). Assuming you have Sort By Artist turned off. The Music app will parse out leading "The" when sorting, albiet sometimes inconsistantly. I wouldn't imagine it is somehow picking up your prefix because of the frequency and doing the same, but I guess not out of the question. Ican only recommend two things:
Double check the tagging in iTunes, then completely remove and then resync these albums to the iPad.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
Set them up in individual playlists

  • How to change the order of albums iOS 8?

    I recently upgraded from an iPhone 5 to a 6 Plus. Everything is fine except for the fact that some of my music is in the wrong order. There are some groups that released multiple albums in the same year, and I would like them to be in the order of when they were released. On my 5 I was able to put them in the right order by going on a computer, changing the sorting, then update iTunes Match to have it change on my phone as well. (example; group came out with album "1" and "2" same year and it defaults to "2" first, then "1." I was able to change it on the iPhone 5 to be in the right order by changing how they are sorted from my computer but that doesn't work on the 6 Plus.) I would like to order it where it goes top to bottom, with the newest on top going down. How would I do this?
    Thanks

    Hi Jason,
    How to change the order of tables within sheets
    Make a table active by clicking in it once to select that table, then drag it by the 'bullseye' (top left, I have placed a red circle to show the bullseye):
    After dragging the table down:
    Table 1 is now below Table 2.
    The blue line is an Alignment Guide
    Two types of Guide:
    1. Menu > View >Show Rulers. Drag Alignment Guides from a ruler to where you want them.
    2. Menu > Numbers > Preferences > Rulers > Alignment Guides. Turn on (tick) both guides. That allows you to align objects with *each other* (as well as with the ruler guides). These guides help to align objects left, middle, right, top, bottom.
    Alignment Guides do not show unless you are moving an object.
    to drag/move table to another sheet in the one file
    Not possible in Numbers 3. The Sheets Pane has gone. Instead, select the entire table (click once in the table to make it active, then click on the bullseye). Copy (or Cut if you are brave). Go to another Sheet and Paste.
    Also can you change the size of sheet tab width on tab toolbar, so I can see more sheets at once??
    No. Let's hope this will be added in future updates. However, you can drag a Sheet tab left or right to reorder them.
    Another tip: each Sheet tab shows the contents of that Sheet, with some options such as Duplicate and Delete:
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How to change the order of the albums?

    how can i change the order of the albums from oldest to newest to a different order?

    First off I'll say that iPhoto for iOS and iPhoto on your Mac are different applications. They have similar features but the are different in many ways.
    On the iPad you cannot change the order of photo albums in iPhoto for iOS. You can change the order of albums in the Photo app but these changes will not come through in iPhoto for iOS. IPhoto for iOS will also rearrange photos within albums so that the order in iPhoto for iOS is different from the order in the Photos app. There's no way to change this.
    iPhoto on your Mac is a much more powerful application when it comes to organizing photos and albums.

  • HT1539 How do I get my Avengers music album after I down load the movie?

    How do I get my Avengers music album after I down load the movie? It looks like it is included with the disk set I purchased.

    If iTunes Match is turned off, go to preferences > store>Tick box show iCloud purchases. Once done all purchased music will appear. Go to song list view, select all tracks, ctrl+click and select download from pop up.
    Alternatively, go into iTunes Store > Quicklinks purchased and select not on this computer. Select download all.

  • How do I play my iTunes music on my iPad using WiFi and iTunes match (my music is stored in the cloud).

    How do i play my iTunes music on my iPad using WiFi and iTunes match? I don't want to download my music to my iPad.

    But that's what I don't want to do. I think I must have misunderstood what was possible with iTunes Match and the cloud. I had thought I would be able to play my music directly from the cloud using WiFi. I didn't think I would have to download it from the cloud to play it on my iPad. I store it in the cloud because I don't have enough storage space on my iPad -- I can't download all my music because I run out of storage space. If iTunes Match doesn't allow you to play the music FROM THE CLOUD, but instead only allows you to DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE CLOUD TO YOUR IPAD TO PLAY, then it's not serving the purpose I thought it would. What's the point of storing it in the cloud if you have to download it to play it?
    The only way I could imagine it working for me is if it possible to only download particular albums or songs. Or does your whole library have to be downloaded?

  • How to get the order for these decoration​s?

    hello,
    I want to programatically resize all the controls, indicators and decorations on the front panel.
    I am getting the references of all the controls and indicators and able to resize them, as each n every control and indicator has a tabbing order set to it.
    I am also getting the references of all the decoration used on the front panel but not able to get the order.
    how to get the order for these decorations?

    The order of the decorations is the same as the back to front order. So you
    can change it by bringing decorations to front, or sending them to the back.
    It has been suggested many times that decorations should have labels as well
    as controls, but at the moment there is no way to tell which reference
    belongs to which decoration (besides position and order).
    Regards,
    Wiebe.

  • How to organize the orders of audio files in ipod?

    Hey guys, I'm having a problem in organizing the audio files on my ipod, I wish you could help me out. I transferred some language lessons to my ipod, however they are not in order. If they are just songs it's OK, but for language lessons you really want them to be in order. Anybody can teach me how to arrange the order of audio files on ipod? Thanks a lot!
    ipod video 30GB

    Thanks for the reply, Chris. Are you talking about how to change the file name on itune or on ipod? I couldn't find the way to edit any info of the audio files on itune. And the file names were already in order (i.e. French001,French002...) but they appear on itune & ipod in different order.
    Thanks again.

  • How to change the order of users in appearance of login screen?

    Hello!
    Because we often switch to a user,
    which is listed last in login screen,
    we want move them to the second place.
    How to change the order of users in appearance of login screen?
    Thank you for a tip
    Erhy

    The order users show up on the login screen is the way they are ordered under the
    C:/Users directory. This is usually alphabetical, AFAIK there is no other way to change the order other than to change the username to something that starts with a letter that will be higher alphabetically.

    How to change the order of the fields in the queryoutputnode in OVS.

    The actual requirment is to re-arrange the elements of the queryoutput node, to look more organised
    say for ex.
    Seq 1:
    c code                            company name                          g/l ac                g/l ac description  
    Seq2 :
    g/l ac description             c code                                       g/l ac                company name  
    Seq 1 way of representation is more organised that Seq2. How can we achieve this re-arranging of ordering in the queryoutputnode.
