Is it possible to sort a playlist alphabetically...

Is it possible to sort a PLAYLIST or ARTIST songlist alphabetically in itunes and retain that order on ipod (Classic)? Some of my playlists or artist's songlists have literally hundreds of songs and it is cumbersome to try to locate a particular song when using the ipod. I realize that the songs are alphabetized under the song category but I would like them alphabetized by song in a particular playlist or artist songlist for ease of access. Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it? Thanks in advance

Anyone? I agree with @sully1961 – I have a playlist for "4 & 5 star" tracks and sometimes would like to listen to a specific track followed by other 4 & 5 star rated tracks. As it is now, they sort by album and I can never find what I'm looking for. I swear in the past the sort order was maintained from the sort order in iTunes – am I mistaken?

Is it possible to sort textframes in alphabetical order?

Hi,
I have a large number of separate text frames with text startsing with a number.
Is it possible to sort the text frames i alphabetical / numeric order either in y or z?
Scripts available that I've found sort paragraphs, but since my text frames contains several paragraphs that's not an option.
InDesign CS5, MacOS X.
So, help much appreciated.
/K

That took me a few minutes
Sorting 'on contents' is easy, but then the text order inside the frames as set would be correct, but not the order of the frames themselves. The top frame on your screen may not be "the first one" according to the order of creation.
So you also have to re-sort the text frame location, top to bottom and left to right. I do this by first sorting the frames into the correct location, so the "first" frame is actually the first one on the page, then the next one etc.
Then I sort the contents on the first word and move the frames around into their sorted order.
I do this quick 'n dirty: by moving their geometric bounds around. Thus it's possible I place a large text into a small 'original' frame (actually I don't move the text around) and it might get overset. But this way nothing else on the screen changes.
If you want the frames aligned and spaced out as in your "below" image, you could do that before running my script.
Is this what you were looking for?
list = app.selection;
org_order = [];
for (i=0; i<list.length; i++)
org_order[i] = list[i].geometricBounds;
org_order.sort (function(a,b) {
if (a[0] == b[0]) return a[1] - b[1];
return a[0] - b[0];
list.sort ( function(a, b) {
return parseInt(a.texts[0].words[0].contents) - parseInt(b.texts[0].words[0].contents);
for (i=0; i<org_order.length; i++)
list[i].geometricBounds = org_order[i];

Is there a way to sort a playlist on my iPhone alphabetically by Artist?

Is there a way to sort a playlist on my iPhone alphabetically by Artist? I can do it when I view the playlist through iTunes on my computer, but when I view it on my iPhone's iPod, it is sorted by the date the songs were added. I add the songs through iTunes, and I can sort it by Artist with no problem in the iTunes window. However, when I look at the playlist through the iPod on my iPhone, the new songs are down at the bottom, no matter who the Artist is.
If it matters I am running iOS 4.3.10 on an iPhone 4 and I have iTunes 10.4.0.80 on my computer.
Thanks.

Ottonomy, here's what to do.
Connect your iPhone to your computer and open the iPhone's playlist in an iTunes window. Copy/Paste the entire playlist into a new(!) playlist in iTunes, not on your iPhone. Then resort the playlist. After you sort it, Copy/Paste it to a new(!) playlist on your iPhone. Now delete the old playlist on your iPhone and rename the new playlist the name you want it to be (probably the same name as the old playlist).
The downside to this method is that you have to do it every time you add a song to the playlist. Unfortunately, I don't think there's another way.

Is it possible to sort text/imessages in alphabetical order??

Is it possible to sort text/iMessages into alphabetical order instead of just by date?? Would be great to have the option to sort by different filters or even to initiate a search of a particular subject/word or persons name.

Didnt think so. APPLE!!! Would be good to have please!!!

Is it possible to sort dimension values in order different from alphabetic?

Is it possible to sort dimension values in order different from alphabetic. То use this sorting in BI Beans. In 10g r2 with awm 10.2.0.2. I try to add attribute like it was show in this forum, but nothing changes.

Could be usefull if you use java AW api... here's the java code I'm using to create the sort_order attribute
Dimension myDim = yourAW.findDimension("DIMNAME");
Attribute myAttr = myDim.createAttribute();
myAttr.setName("freename");
myAttr.setClassification("DEFAULT_ORDER");
myAttr.setIsDefaultOrder(true); // TO NOT FORGET
myAttr.setDataType("INTEGER");
myAttr.Create(AWConnection);
globalAW.Commit(AWConnection);
It creates a variable - integer - that defines the default order of the dim values. I'm viewing it with AWM and BIBeans. The order is respected with Level-based and Value-based hierarchy but my hierarchies are really simple and unique for all the dimensions.
BUT !!!! Be carefull, if you don't have any hierarchy in your dimension, you must have at least one level - the default NONE level. Otherwise, it won't work ???

Is it possible to sort Mac Mail Rules into alphabetical order? I have in excess of 50 rules and everytime I want to add to a rule, such as "delete incoming" I have to go through the entire list to find it.

Is it possible to sort Mac Mail Rules into alphabetical order? I have in excess of 50 rules and everytime I want to add or amend a rule, such as "delete incoming" I have to go through the entire list to find it. I have tried clicking on the heading "Description" but it does not sort. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that use CMAK to configure split tunneling on VPN clients, traffic to specified devices can be routed via their own default gateway.
If the manually added route entries all have default metric and interface, clients will select one by the default routing rule, can’t select one of them according to clients’ own conditions. So, I am afraid that CMAK can’t implement the function which you need.
A blog described about How to configure split tunneling on VPN clients using CMAK, for your reference:

Sorting of playlists

The single thing I dislike the most about spotify is the sorting of the playlists and songs. The most important is this option:
++ You should be able to sort the playlists either (or in combination) 1. alphabetically, 2. size (number of songs) 3. most played ++
Songs in playlists should also been possible to be sorted in most played order.

Updated: 2015-08-02Hello and thanks for the feedback!
Any news regarding this request will be announced in the original idea topic here:
https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Playlist-sorting-options/idi-p/181
Please add your kudos and comments there, if you haven't already. ;)

Is it possible to sort by multiple fields?

Is it possible to sort the music library by multiple fields in a prioritised order? For example, I would like to sort by the following columns, in the following order:
Album Artist
Album
Track Number
for some reason I can't seem to do this, sorting by Album artist alone is not working for me, as some CD's I've imported have featured artists and this breaksup the listing order.
Thanks

Thanks Thomas
Unfortunately, this solution did not work for me, cover flow still shows multiple instances of the same artwork for various groups of tracks from the same album.
The thing I don't understand is why sorting by the "sort album artist" field does not group all the tracks from an album together.
My specific example (I still can't get a screenshot posted):
I have two Gwen Stefani albums, both ripped from CD (not imported from the itunes store). both albums have a majority of track where Gwen is the only artist and two or three track with featured artists. I have filled the "album artist" and "sort album artist" tags to all read Gwen Stefani, however, if I sort by either of these columns (in cover flow mode), what I get is this:
all the tracks from one ablum where Gwen Stefani is the artist
then all the tracks from the other album where Gwen Stefani is the artist
then (in alphabetical order by featured artist) the remaining tracks from both albums - ie, the albums are mixed up
for each group of track I see an cover flow art work.
I should say that I have turned off the compilation tag on all of my albums because this ends up saving the file in a compilation folder, not in the artist folder on my hard drive - but it doesn't make a difference either way to the way I see the files sorted in itunes.
It's really frustrating!

RE: Is it possible to sort tags?

This is a continuation of the Support Forum question titled: “Is it possible to sort tags?” located at:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/963133?esab=a&as=s&r=2&page=1
If this new topic has to be posed as a new question the following applies.
If you visit the above link you will learn how convoluted were the solutions provided to non-programmers.
I CERTAINLY EXPECTED THAT BY NOW there would have been an effort to address the Tag sorting issue, since there have been a number of upgrades since this question was first posted. Tag sorting provides a much more robust browser many more would choose to use. It would also attract more users concerned about the control on our liberties if supplied with a browser that truly has more powerful capabilities to garner and access information.
One of the points the Firefox Team uses to attract more to use it is the protection it gives from snoops. You’ve got to ask yourself how much protection that might be if developers can’t do something simple (for talented programmers) like provide tag sorting. That comment is from, basically, a non-programmer, so I have no idea how much code would have to be written to bring this about. I suspect they don’t either and possibly fear the effort might turn out to be much greater than it really is.
It’s been a LONG time since I used Internet Explorer by Microsoft. What brought me to Firefox was their mission statement to provide access free of its own brand of commercialism and free usage of the Internet, which also implied an effort to protect privacy. For the same reasoning I would not use Google, after reports of their cooperation with government heads in China. Reports have also surfaced that Microsoft has provided a back-door to the NSA for their Internet Search engine, all of this in total disregard to the US Constitution’s 4th Amendment requiring a warrant from a court to prevent unreasonable searches and seizures. I would, however, wish that Firefox would OPENLY adhere to the Bill of Rights in their Privacy Policy, which is not stated in so many words. Many would say, “I don’t have anything to hide, so I don’t care.” Apparently they are unaware how dirty politics and politicians can be. This is the reason why a viable alternative, such as Firefox, is so important.

This is just one of the links that would be a lot easier to access, were it possible to sort Tags.
Is this off-topic? Not really.

HI MozillaFirefoxNewbie,
Thank you for your question, even though this is not off topic, the points made would have a better audience in a feature proposal in Bugzilla. Please check out the features and description here:
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox&component=Bookmarks%20%26%20History]
As mentioned in the previously posted thread, there was a work around provided by [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/963133#answer-462676 jscher] that sounded functional.
However if there is no extension desired, I encourage to proved the steps and objective of the feature.
If you open up the Bookmark Library however and click the drop down of 'Tags', they are in alphabetical order.
Have you tried this built into Firefox?
Cheers

Is it possible to sort the list of Conditions/Calculations?

Is it possible to sort the list of Conditions/Calculations so that they display alphabetically in the list?
My list of conditions is getting quite long and haphazard now!
Cheers
Sapphie

I was afraid of that!. It is very disappointing because , as I am developing a set of reports for the first time, I will create conditions/calculations in quite a non-ordered way and then end up wanting to group similar ones together.
Hopefully a future version will allow this?

Is it possible to sort the songs which have an exclamation by them because they won't play?

Is it possible to sort the songs which won't play and have an exclamation sign against them.
I have just upgraded to Windows 7 which may have caused the problem as they played ok before.

Lost & Found playlists
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.
If the files still exist on the computer my FindTracks script may be able to help reconnect iTunes to them.

Sorting/displaying playlists

It must be here somewhere, but I can't see how to sort my playlists in alphabetical order by artist or album.

Just figured it out...

Sorting Video Playlists

I hope I'm not missing something obvious here.
Whenever I create a video playlist, and add to it, the iPod always shows the contents of the playlist in reverse alphabetical order.
Is there a way to have the iPod sort video playlist contents alphabetically?

Guy's we are speculating.
Clearly this is software version 1.0 and improvements will come in time, if you have any requests you should send them to feedback, Apple are happy to receive feedback, for example I'm not convinced the menu listings are as good as they could be but I'm glad Apple didn't rush in and lock us into file listing system without giving us the opportunity to let them know what we felt by feedback.
As for the bugs ???. I've read more posts than most and apart maybe from the waking from sleep issue, I haven't seen an issue that can be attributed to a bug. Bilbo if you have a problem you should start a post, but remember issues can arise from a number of sources and if someone is unable to help you because they have no knowledge of your equipment and set up, it doesn't mean it's a software bug in the tv or itunes. Surely you realise that there are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of us out there that have no problems at all.

Sorting Smart Playlists

I have created some folders in iTunes to better manage my content, but I am unable to put my smart playlists in the order I want. I am placing the playlists inside the folder, but iTunes automatically sorts this in alphabetical order by playlist name. Unfortunately, this is not appropriate for what I want to achieve...
Any suggestions anyone? It doesn't seem I can drag and drop the playlists manually into a suitable order...

sing digits at the beginning of the playlist name isn't
appropriate as some of the names actually start with digits already!
Sorry, but that's the only way - well, you could use characters instead of digits of course. Or split them up into even more folders until the automatic sorting doesn't bug you anymore.

Can you sort indesign pages alphabetically?

I have a document with over 200 page and I want to sort the pages alpahetically after the heading on every page.The headings have one paragrah style. The document is singel pages, but there is two text frames on ever page. Many pages have also the same heading, so I hope to sort them in the same order in which the document is now.
If you see the images under, I want to sort the pages alphabetically after the "heading" in bold to the right (txt:Best Buys Natural Wines)
Is it possible with a script or something else?

Ok This is what you were after.
This assumes that you use a Paragraph style for your header AND THERE IS ONLY ONE HEADER ON EACH PAGE WHICH IS ONLY ONE PARAGRAPH LONG
// Script by Trevor to sort Pages according to alphabetical order of Page Headers
// http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1082984?tstart=0
var doc = app.documents[0], myHeaders, l;
app.changeGrepPreferences = app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "My Header";
// Change above to the name of header style
myHeaders = doc.findGrep();
for (n=0; n < myHeaders.length-1; n++) $.writeln([myHeaders[n].contents]);
myHeaders.sort (function (a,b) {if (a.contents.toLowerCase() > b.contents.toLowerCase()) return 1 else return -1})
l = myHeaders.length;
while (l--) myHeaders[l].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.move (LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING);
