ITunes 11 Shuffling: Can I Display Track Order Like Old iTunes?

In iTunes 11 when I suffle a playlist, it keeps the same number to the left of the track, whereas before if I shuffled (and had the number column selected) it would rearrange to show the shuffled order (what is now displayed under the "Up Next"). Is there a way to get the playlist to rearrange like it used to?
Thanks for any help!

AWESOMELY, APPLE DELETED MY EDITS TO MY PREVIOUS POST ABOVE AND WON'T SEEM TO LET ME EDIT OR DELETE IT.
POSTING THIS BETTER VERSION AS A NEW RESPONSE.
This is stupid, but it works:
If you want to shuffle a regular (non-smart) playlist that you made yourself:
1. Let's say your original non-smart playlist is called "Road Music"
2. Start a new smart playlist based on the criteria Playlist is Road Music, and check the box for Limit to a number of items selected by random
The bottom Limit... random part is the key here. Even if you don't want to limit the number of songs, put a large number here so it will let you use the "random" part.
3. Once you hit OK, that smart playlist will be the contents of Road Music, but shuffled. Make sure you're sorting it by that first "song number" column, or it may not show up shuffled.
4. From the main playlist view, copy all the songs that are in the smart playlist you just created.
5. Start a new non-smart playlist. Let's call it Road Music Shuffled. Paste in the songs you just copied from the smart playlist.
A very stupid number of steps to do something that was really easy before, but it does work.
Side note: you can reshuffle that intermediate smart playlist you made in step 2 by unchecking that limit... random checkbox, saving, reopening and rechecking the box. Again, something we used to be able to do in one click.

How do I get my iPhone to play all albums by any given artist in consecutive album track order like it does on an iPod?

When I select an artist on my iPod Classic and then select "all albums," I can play multiple albums consecutively without losing the track order of each individual album. On my iPhone 4S, however, when I select an artist there's only the option to select "all songs," and it lists all the tracks alphabetically and plays them in that order, making it impossible to listen to one album followed by another. It isn't a problem if I select one album at a time, as the tracks then remain in their original order from the album, but it won't keep the proper orderings if I want to play all of the music by an artist and select "all songs." Is there some way to change it so that when I view all tracks by an artist I can see them and play them in their original intended track order, not in the alphabetical listing order?

Delete the file and re-download again.

How can I display browsing history (like the "history" function in IE)

In IE when you click "history" you get a list of all the websites visited. In FF "history" only shows Bookmarks. Can I display my browsing history in FF?

Can't change track order for a CD I'm trying to burn - Help! :-/

I'm trying to put together a CD for my girlfriend (yes I know... sappy) but can't seem to change the order. I'm feeling a bit like an idiot because I was able to change them just hours ago but not anymore. I also noticed I can't drag items from other playlists into this one. It's NOT a SmartPlaylist and no I don't have any of the sort headings selected besides the first one (little arrow thingy).
I've read everything I could find in the forums and none of it's helped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm positive that Shuffle is NOT on. This really seems like a glitch in the program to me.
Indeed it is. That is what I meant by "bug."
I've compared my itunes setup to another computer side by side and can't see why it won't work. I've tried restarting the program, the computer, etc but it still won't allow me to drag songs to playlists or reorder them within the playlist.
Did you try the "Add To Playlist" approach that was suggested? That should help you get around the first problem. As a workaround for the second, start a new playlist and add the songs one at a time in the order you want.
Hope this helps.

Can't access tracks purchased under old account

I have tracks on my itunes library which were purchased under an old email address. When I try to play them, it asks me to log in with my old address, but I can't remember my password. I have requested password reset / reminder but it never comes through (to either email address). Any thoughts or do we think this is a customer service / reset style problem?
Many thanks

Track Order Problem - Album Artist...

I'll just give an example of my problem and see if anyone can help me.
I have a few cd's with various artists, but I can't get the track listing in original order. The Album Artist is listed as 'Various Artists' and all of the track numbers are correct.
I realize I can fix the track order by pressing the Album tab, but I do not want my library sorted by album. I have my library sorted by Album Artist, but all of my albums with Various Artists still list the tracks in alphabetical order of the artist's name.
Anyone have a solution?

Click in the Album column header and sort Album by Artist.
I'm not talking about the Album Artist column

Recently downloaded new ITunes. Can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order. Help????

Recently downloaded new iTunes. Now I can't get my 3rd generation iPod shuffle to load songs in order. Never had trouble with the old iTunes format.

I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before).
Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (but perhaps it does more)
If you want to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

My ITunes is acting odd. I have to click on the tabs (ie Music) on the left a bunch of times in order to get to the screen. Also, I can't edit track names by double clicking on them. I downloaded the new ITunes as well. Any solutions? Thanks.

SICK of iTunes messing up my albums' track order!

SCENARIO: I rip a CD, get track name/number and ID3 info from online database, convert to MP3, import into iTunes, sort by Album by Artist (with tracks displaying in correct order), and my iPod STILL chooses to play it in whatever order it darn well pleases.
What's up with that?! Come on, Apple!
Oh yeah, my question:
As you can probably tell, I don't use my iPod/iTunes as a 'jukebox', I simply store my record collection on it. Concordantly, I want to listen to only my albums, and only in the track order the artist intended. How can I tell iTunes/my iPod once and for all that I don't want it to play albums in any order other than track order? If this isn't possible, my question becomes, which form of suicide could anyone recommend? I hear the Empire State Building is pretty high...

Your iPod will order the tracks by their "Track number" tag that appears when you ⌘-i a track and go to the "info" tab. Your iPod needs to know what the track number is in order to play the tracks in that order.
When this value is not present, I'm guessing it will order them in alphabetical order, or the order in which they were imported or some-such.

ITunes mixes up the track order of songs within an album??

My iTunes mixes up the track order, and there is no way to specifically order it by track. i have even gone and individually marked each song as ie(2 of 12) but it still lists them in a random order. How can I make the songs fit in their original order? And none of that "click at the top to order it by artist, album, or time etc," because it doesn't click above track number.

If the songs are in a playlist open iTunes then click on the playlist. Click on the number column (extreme left). Click on the song you want to move and drag it to where you want it to be. Right click on the playlist name and select "Copy to play order". Connect your iPod, if you are updating automatically it will pick up the change. If you are updating manually then you connect first and when the iPod appears in the source list carry out the process above directly in the playlist on your iPod. Make sure neither Shuffle or Repeat are switched on in the playlist, either of those can prevent you reordering tracks.
If the tracks are out of order in the library try this, I found that it works for me. Right click at the top of any column in your iTunes library and choose **Track Number** from the list. Click at the top of this new column to sort it and after that click on the Album column. If you like you can then click on Artist, it will continue to hold the track order as well. Afterwards anything you import should follow this arrangement Artist>Album>Track Number within Album (you can hide the track number column when you've done if you don't want it cluttering up the view)

Why does itunes load cds in the wrong track order

why does this happen and can it be sorted cheers

iTunes imports CDs in track order, first to last. iTunes displays these tracks in your music library based on how you select your library to be viewed. For example, in list view you can select the "date added" column and see the tracks in the order they were imported (with the most recent on top). You can select the name colum and see all the tracks in alphabetical order. You can select the album column and see the tracks in album order. The album column cycles from album, to album by artist, or album by artist/year as you click on the column title.

How can I re-sort my albums both chronologically and in track order?

Hi all,
All of a sudden, the correct album track order on my iPod Classic has gone haywire!
I have many, many playlists, containing albums by all my favourite bands, arranged in chronological order. This means that I can start playing the Beatles (for instance) with "Please Please Me", and work my way through to "Let It Be:Naked", playing each album in its turn, with the track listing of each album in their original order.
Of course, I have to tell iTunes to sort "Album by Artist/Year" to achieve this end, and up until just recently, things have been fine. Most of my 250+ artist-dedicated playlists are sorted this way.
Now, all of a sudden, I find that the track order within these albums in iTunes are appearing in a completely random order. The only way I can get the correct track sequence back again is to re-sort the list by "Album" which re-arranges the albums alphabetically, but that does not list them chronologically....
I have tried re-sorting the chronologically dated and named albums by clicking the column header, and when it comes up with sorted by "Album by Artist / Year" (which is where it ONCE was all automatically sorted into correct sequence of track numbers) now, it comes up with all the album tracks in random order, within each album.. It sorts the albums into the correct chronological order, but the tracks within these albums are all messed up.
As I said earlier, if I choose to sort each playlist simply "By Album", then all the tracks on each album are in the correct order, so I KNOW that the correct ID Tag info is still there..
Until now, I have been able to pride myself on (usually) being able to manage the sometimes quirky moods of iTunes, which I have been using for over a decade - but I have never had this problem before.
Please also note that all my 23,000+ tracks have album dates, track numbers, artists, groupings, genres, play counts, and most also have cover images.
This week, I have downloaded and re-installed iTunes 10.6.3.25, but still no change.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what I can do to get things back the way they were again?
Many thanks,
Rusty Shay

Hello there,
Hi there Chris CA,
Many thanks for your reply.
I just tried using the column browser as you suggested, but it remains the same.
I can either have the albums by any one artist sorted alphabetically - with the tracks in the correct sequence....
Or I can have the albums sorted by year of release - with the tracks in random order....
But not both!
The most curious thing is that all playlists are not affected. Probably three or four out of the 250+ are listed the way I want them all to be.
It's driving me bloody crazy!

Audiobooks in the "music" app display tracks in alphabetical, not actual track order

Since updating my iPad 1 to iOS 5.0.1 my audiobooks (Teaching Company) display in the "music" app in alphabetical, not actual track order. They display correctly in iTunes from my synced computer. I've tried designating them as compilations and not as compilations, and either way, the same result. Further, when I hit play on the first track listed, it does not go to the second track, rather it just stops.
