Is it possible to Sort music on groupings?

Have just purchased the complete Led Zeppelin 169 tracks, which when downloaded are not in any sort of album order, although when looking at info, the albums are listed in the groupings section.
It will be rather annoying to have to manually sort them all.
Also not all album covers from this set show.

I don't have this album, but looking at the Get Info in the store, the disk number is filled in.
You can show disk number in your library by right clicking in the header row and checking disk number.
If you sort by album, it should come out in the right order even though there is a single album title.
There is a hidden feature of the album column, if you click on the text "Album" in the header, you can cycle through Album, Album by Year and Album by artist.
If you don't like just having one title, you can do a multiple GetInfo edit of the album name once the tracks are sorted correctly. Just select all the tracks in an album, then right click and select Get Info and edit the Album Title.
Also see the comprehensive article on grouping albums:
http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp
As I don't have the album, I can't say anything about the artwork, but it looks as the whole this is treated as one album with just one piece of artwork.
You can add artwork manually using Get Info as above if you first change the album titles so they are treated as individual CDs, but again see the article.

Why does my new iPod touch sort music by album artist, instead of song artist?

I recently go an iPod touch 4th Gen. My old iPod sorted music by song artist, but the new one sorts it by album artist. My problem is this: There is an album called Re:generation. It was a project in which 5 DJs each made 2 songs for the album. So I enter the info for each song, but my iPod sorts it by album artist, which is listed as "Re:generation". I wanted the songs to be sorted by the 5 artists that actually made the songs, so there would be 2 songs under 5 different artists. If I wanted to listen to the whole album, I could press the album tab, scroll down to "Re:generation" and play the whole album. This all worked fine on my old iPod, but now it doesn't.
My first solution was to change the album artist on each song to the artist that created that song. But then by iPod list 5 different albums, so I can't listen to the album as a whole if I wanted to. My next solution was to erase the album artist info for each song, but now none of the ten songs can be found under the artist tab. I have to go over to the album and pick which song I want to hear.
If you don't understand, here's an example. 2 of the songs on the Re:generation album are by Pretty Lights. I want to be able to select Pretty Lights under the artist tab, choose all songs, shuffle, and have those 2 songs play at some point. But I would also like to be able to got to the album tag, select Re:generation, and play all 10 songs in order. However, the new setup won't allow me to do this.
So I'm wondering if I can fix the problem by somehow editing the iPod's sort settings (if possible), or reverting back to the old system (if possible), and why Apple even changed the system in the first place. It seems pretty stupid to me, and I honestly see no reason to change what I thought was a perfect system.

wow, i really don't have time to read all that, but i'll give you an hint when you're in music library click "More" and then "Composers" i think that's what you're lookin for otherwise just ignore it

Sorting Music titel in store

Did anybody now how it is possible to sort the music titels in the iTunes store?
When I search a music titel I get a list of many titels of different artists. Now I tried to sort this list by artist or album or the length of titel.
But it seems, that this is not possible.
Any ideas?

Go to the Finder - use the keys: command-F
When that 'search' window opens, use the pull-downs to search on:
• kind: music
...then look on the right and hit the '+' icon to add another filter/attribute for the search. Use the menu that appears for 'other' (sorted alphabetically) to select 'Track number' -- Hit [√] to place this attribute in the pull-down menu.
Search for all music files with track number of whatever - or just use track number...your choice.
Go back and add or subtract filters from the 'other' list as required and then save your crafted search in the sidebar.
You're now using the Finder to search on track number for MP3s.

Sorting Music on the iPod

I was wondering if it is possible to sort albums on the iPod by year of release. I know how to make iTunes do this but when I transfer my library over to the iPod it is sorted by Artist in alphabetical order (which is perfect), then under each artist the albums are listed in alphabetical order. This is where I want the albums in the order of year of release.
Also I am using the 5th Generation iPod and Windows XP Pro for this.
Any ideas on how to do this?

So is this only possible if I use a Mac and not Windows. I did find this option in the Windows XP iTunes but all it did was add the Year to the Library display in iTunes itself. It did not changed the way that the albums are displayed on the iPod. Maybe I wasn't being specific enough though. The section of the iPod that I am talking about is when you select Music>Artists and then have selected an artist. This is where I would like it to be sorted by year. I beleive your suggestion would make it so that if you select Music>Albums then it would list by year of release in that section.
Thank you for the suggestion, although it was not 100% what I was looking for.

Is it possible to play music videos on the Music App of my iPad 2? or it's only possible in the Video App?

Is it possible to play music videos on the Music App of the iPad 2? Or create a playlist for the Video App? or sort the music videos by artist, genre, album, etc.?

I have two music videos on my iPad and they don't even show up in the Music App - only in the Videos App so I have to conclude that you can only play them in the Videos App.
I could be wrong - heaven knows it won't be the first time - but I see no way to play it in the Music App.

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!

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.

Is it possible to transfer music/videos from one itunes account to a separate one? I need to give my music and videos that I bought a grandchild to her for her ipad.

Is it possible to transfer music/videos from my itunes account to a grandchild (she will need her own account) I bought her music and videos and let her play with my ipod touch. Now she has an ipad.

No you cannot transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple does not allow it and never has allowed it.
She can use you Apple ID on the device and switch between her ID and your ID, but that can cause problems at times and can become a bit of a pain.

Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

Nope. Both require iTunes on a computer to sync music from.
Unless the iPod is an iPod Touch and the music was bought from iTunes. In which case the Touch can simply go to the iTunes App, under Purchased and download the purchased songs for free.

Sorting music by "Album by Artist / Year" on iPod touch (3rd gen.)

Hello there,
In my music library, I have plenty of discographies per artist (eg. Bob Dylan's, Coldplay's etc...), and am finding a bit of a pain to sort it the way I want it on my iPod.
I've synced my new iPad with iTunes and copied all the music across, and when I look through the music on the iPad and select an artist, each of their albums are ordered by the year they were released in (and this happened automatically). I find this a much better way of sorting music to how I did it previously (i.e. each album ordered alphabetically).
Now, my question: How the heck do I get my iPod touch to do this?
On iTunes, I figured out you can sort the iTunes library in this way by selecting an artist in grid view, then clicking "Album by Title" above the column with album artwork and changing it to "Album by Artist / Year", however this only works for that specific artist's albums - to get your iTunes library to sort all albums this way you seemingly have to do this for each artist. Is there any way to make my whole library sort music this way without having to do that?
Essentially, how can I get my iPod to sort music the way my iPad does?
Thanks.

Hello,
As far as I can see, you can't sort the order of music on the iPod Touch. It is always sorted alphabetically.
Maybe you can suggest that as a feature to Apple.

Sorting music by genres

Hello!
I don't understand the way music sorts in my iPhone. I bought Concert for George in iTunes and if I choose “Genres” in iTunes on my iMac it looks fine — it is one album as it has to be:
But the same album looks like separate songs on my iPhone:
And I can't listen then whole album I have to play every song separately. What can I do in that case? Yeah, it was fine in the past. I do not know what happened, or may be it is the special feature of iOS 7.0.2.

Yeah, you're right. But sorting music by genres is more convenient for me.
I just solved this problem. I put “Various Artists” in Album Artist field and it helps. In my Soundtrack section album still shows multiple times, but every unit opens the whole album. It's a bit strange but it's works.

PhE11: No possibility to sort my pictures by file name ! Why not ?? (Like in PhE 9) Tha

There is in PHE 11 Editorno longer a possibility to sort my pictures by file name ! Why not ?? (Like in PhE 9) That creates a big problem working with my thousands of files !

dear Brett N
I am a new macbook user forced to give up Digital Image Pro (winXP), and looking for a photo program that sorts BY NAME. REPEAT BY NAME.
I was ready to purchase PSE11, but luckily I read this forum and saw that in your infinite wisdom you spared every expense and removed this function.
I have no need for face recognition, type of photo, etc.
Should I abandon 15 years of files all sorted by where they were taken?
I think not. For you to do this to previous owners shows a blatant disregard for them.
I will look elsewhere and not to a Photoshop product.
Should you provide an update that corrects this I would consider installing it on my 2 new Apple machines. Hurry though......

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 text/imessages in alphabetical order??

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

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
