Listening in chronological order to a subscribed podcast

It's easy enough to change the play order, Newest or Oldest first.  But if you have a subscribed podcast, it shows every available episode in the list, so if you like to listen in chronological order, you have to scroll past potentially hundreds of episodes every time?
Am I weird for listening to things in order?  Anyone have a better way?

What am I not understanding here?
Most podcast are topical. Like news, their episodes become dated or irrelevant as time passes; therefore, the most recent episode is what most listeners want to hear. However, for those podcasts whose episodes are timeless, I found that it's possible to hear them in chronological order, but that you can't skip episodes and expect the player to play those skipped episodes later--in order--while ignoring the episodes you listened to previously.
Is this what you want to do?

  • Is it possible to have podcasts being played in chronological order instead of reversed chronological order in an iPod Classic?

    Is it possible to have podcasts being played in chronological order instead of reversed chronological order in an iPod Classic? It is not an issue, just something that irritates me as I want to be able to listen to them in chronological order.

    Yes, but you need to make a custom playlist to do so. There is no option on the classic to reverse the playback order.

  • Podcast in Chronological Order

    How do I set up my podcast in chronological order? Oldest to newest. My iPod does this, as it is within iTunes.

  • How can I reverse the order of podcasts so I can listen in cronological order

    How can I reverse the order of podcasts so I can listen in cronological order!

    What I did was create a playlist for the podcasts and keep it sorted in reverse date order, which puts the oldest first. To prevent it from automatically playing the next podcast, I actually mark all podcasts as "skip when shuffling", and then play in shuffle mode. I also make sure all my podcasts have a genre of "podcast"; I discovered that if you use media type, the playlist doesn't update correctly on the iPod classic
    So, what I've got is a playlist of the form: (play count = 0) and (genre = podcast), sorted in reverse date order.

  • Play podcasts in chronological order?

    How do you get iTunes to play podcasts in chronological order, automatically starting the next one when one finishes?

    Put them in a playlist, arranged as you wish them to play. It's annoying to have to do this workaround, but it works.

  • Sort Podcasts in Chronological order (oldest first)?

    How do i sort my podcasts in chronological order (oldest first)? The default is reverse chronological order (most recent first).
    I am able to do this in iTunes on my Mac. But this does not translate to my iPod after a synch.

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    This isn't configurable on the iPod. Reverse date order is what you get. You can however make playlists with the tracks in a different order.

  • Is it possible to display artist's albums in chronological order instead of alphabetical?

    Is it possible to display artist's albums in chronological order instead of alphabetical?

    Afternoon rockmyplimsoul, thank you for the info on changing the sorting order - one question though how do you do this on the iPod ?
    Even if your artists are sorted in the library in chronological order by release date, which is cool,  when its transferred to the iPod it still gets sorted in alphabetical order. This is frustrating as I like to listen to one artist's music in order of release date, which I cant because its in alphabetical order.
    Can you assist please.
    Thank you
    PS: Config- Thinkpad W510 i7 8GB, Win 7 Pro 32

  • ITunes 11.3.1.2 does not download subscribed podcasts

    iTunes Version 11.1.3.2 running under Windows Vista Business on a standard HP laptop.
    I have an iPod Classic set up to synchronize several dozen podcasts.
    I have subscribed to a podcast "60-Second Science" and the podcast settings are:
    When I select Refresh
    I expect iTunes to download any new episodes of the podcast to my laptop (Download Episodes is ON, Limit Episodes is OFF).
    But when I check, the newest episodes are available in the cloud, but are not downloaded. They each have the "cloud down arrow" symbol
    which means they are available to be downloaded, but they have not been copied down to the laptop.
    Here you can see than several recent episodes of the podcast are available, but have not been downloaded.
    When I Synchronize my iPod, the newest episodes are not copied.
    Here you can see that the episodes for Monday, Aug 1, Jul 31, etc. have not been downloaded or synchronized to my iPod.
    But, if I manually click on the "cloud arrow down" symbol for the first episode, it is downloaded, then I can synch my iPod, and the episode is on my iPod for me to listen to. You can see that the episode "System Converts Solar..." is now on my iPod:
    My question is: What else do I have to set so that the podcast episodes I have subscribed to are automatically downloaded? I have subscribed to almost 100 podcasts and I should not have to go to each one in Library | My Podcasts and manually select the newest episodes. Am I not following the directions? Is there another step I have missed?
    Please tell me how to have my subscribed podcasts download automatically.
    Thanks and regards,

    There has been a long-standing issue with the way iTunes handles Podcasts when there are multiple episodes available.
    When your iTunes Library checks for new episodes of subscribed Podcasts, it will download only the latest one. This is fine if there is only one episode since iTunes last checked. But if there are two or more, then iTunes still only downloads the latest one, and ignores the previous episodes. Apple's apparent attempt to resolve this issue is to show the other episodes, but with the download cloud icon next to them. All well-and-good, but it's not obvious that this is what is happening, particularly when the Unplayed Episode Count includes those non-downloaded episodes.
    What compounds this issue is that the in-the-cloud episodes are listed in the Podcasts Library, which up until that change, only included media actually in your Library.

    Submit a product Enhancement Request as feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html, although I suggest you don't get your hopes up. I submitted one a long time ago, but all Apple has done is introduce the "cloud" episodes, which has not solved the problem.

    The only thing you can do is set your iTunes to check for new episodes frequently enough to catch all the new ones.
    However, even this may not be enough. There is a BBC programme that releases up to three new episodes every day, all within one hour. So even once and hour will not catch all three of these.

  • Solutions Explorer - View features in chronological order

    Microsoft Visual C# 2013
    I was wondering if there was any way to re-arrange the features in the solutions explorer based on chronological order. The solutions explorer is slowly becoming quite cluttered despite my attempts at using a proper naming convention. I can expect there
    to be several hundred features residing here in the near future. Currently the features appear to be ordered alphanumerically. Is there any way to show the features chronologically? It would aid in allowing people to easily see which items
    have been worked on most recently without having to investigate each individual item.
    I explored most of the options but was unable to find what I need. Any ideas? Possible alternatives?

    Hi Connor89,
    Based on your issue, I tried to create multiple projects under the Solution Explorer, I found that it is default these project is ordered by the alphanumerically in the VS2013.
    As you said that you want to order by the chronologically in the solution explorer from VS2013, I did some research about it, but I still find the official document
    about it.  So I think that it is not possible to set the features appear to be ordered chronologically for the solution explorer in the VS2013.
    If you still want to this feature, I suggest you could submit this feature request:
    http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio. The Visual Studio product team is listening to user voice there. You can send your idea there and people can vote. If
    you submit this suggestion, I hope you could post that link here, I will help you vote it.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Show all available episodes of a subscribed podcast without downloading?

    I have the podcasts I am subscribed to set to automatically download any new episodes, and automatically delete them once they have been listened to/watched.  This works well enough, but when they are deleted, those particular episodes are no longer listed in the available episodes.  I know I can click "show all available episodes", but when I do that, they are automatically downloaded again.  iTunes apparently thinks they are new, and that I haven't listened to them yet.  Is there any way to maintain a current list of all available episodes in my subscribed podcasts?  There are older episodes (ones that haven't been downloaded since I have subscribed) still in the list, that iTunes apparently doesn't consider new, but any that have been downloaded and listened to since subscribing, are removed from the list when auto-deleted, and I can't get them back in the list without them being automatically downloaded again.  I hope this makes sense.  I tried to contact apple support, and the guy that replied had no idea what I was talking about.  I would appreciate any help.  Thanks a lot.

    I think you misunderstood my question.  What I want to do is have ALL available episodes in the list, even the ones that I have downloaded (automatically because I am subscribed), listened to, and deleted (also automatically because I have it set to delete played episodes).  I just want a complete list of episodes including the ones I have already heard, but those episodes, once auto-deleted, are no longer listed, and if I "show all available podcasts", they are downloaded again.

  • View iCal's day and week view in reverse chronological order

    Greetings iCalers,
    When I think about day/week calendars, with the Y-axis being times of the day as in iCal's day/week views (e.g. "3:00 AM", and "5:00 PM" are in the leftmost column), I think about times building up to midnight from the bottom—i.e. the day starts at 12:00 AM on the bottom, with 1:00 AM above that, and the day ends with 11:59 PM on the top. I've learned that this intuition is atypical, and all calendaring systems I've come across work in the reverse direction, in line with the majority of people's intuitions.
    I'm wondering if there's a way to get iCal to display in the reverse-chronological order. I suspect there isn't, and I've never seen a terminal command or apple script for it, but I'm hoping there is. If anyone know and could post it here, that would be great!
    Thanks!

    It's cool, I figured out a solution: get over it and stop worrying about trivial issues to the point of excessive fussiness.

  • How do I make email searches display in chronological order?

    There must be something obvious I am missing here, I am hoping someone can tell me what I may be doing wrong.
    I have several packages that just shipped via UPS over the past week. I get quite a few UPS packages and the tracking alerts are over several email accounts.
    I go to my email to search for UPS so I can get all the tracking numbers, but as I've noticed since iOS7 was installed, my search results come back completely in a random looking order.  There is no coherence to the dates.  The first one is from March, then they jump back to 2011, then one of my recent ones is shown as Wednesday, then back to 2012, etc.  There are hundreds.  Even when I specify an email box instead of searching all email the same thing happens - all seemingly in random order. 
    Why can't I just see them in chronological order as I used to? Do I need to specify something different in search, or change some setting?
    Thanks for  any help! This has been annoying for awhile but today it's gone from annoying to really bothersome because this is such a basic function and I just had to spend ten minutes going through my email manually since at least it's chronological - I would have been there all day using the search function.  I know I must be missing something. 

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • How to return a string in chronological order?

    I have a string called schedule, for example:
    schedule = "^14%Paul's house?Group Meeting\n^9%Nutty Professor's Office?Office Hours\n^12%MegaBits?Lunch"
    After breaking it up using StringTokenizer, how do I return it into chronological order?
    Return the schedule for each day of the week as a String with the appointments listed in chronological order, starting with those for the first day of the week and ending with those for the last day of the week.
    The String should have the following format
    Sunday:
    ^14%Paul's house?Group Meeting
    Monday:
    ^9%Nutty Professor's Office?Office Hours
    Tuesday:
    ^12%MegaBits?Lunch
    Wednesday:
    xxx
    Thursday:
    xxx
    Friday:
    xxx
    Saturday:
    xxx
    xxx is the String representation of the schedule for each day. There should be no newline after the last schedule.
    Note: if there are no appointments scheduled for a certain day, then that day should not be included in the String. (For example, if there are no appointments scheduled on Tuesday then:
    Tuesday:
    xxx
    should not be included.)

    Well, then,
    i would assume you need to keep 7 variables, that hold the 7 values of the days,
    then append the values together in the natural order using +

  • Album Art in Chronological order

    Ok so I finally got a Lion OS (whilst kicking and screaming) and thus involuntarily downgraded to iTunes 11. It looks nice but the more I use it the more I realize how impossible it is to customize or at least have a similar organization to my iTunes 10.
    One thing I can't seem to do at all that is driving me nuts is I'd like to click on a playlist or an artist and see the albums and cover art in chronological order. List view is the closest it gets, my playlist is in the same order, but there isn't a way to view the album art anymore -- it should be a category at the top that can be added -- but it's not. Grid view looks nice but Apple decided I needed to always view these in alphabetical order -- no compromises -- not sure who decided that but they should not be on the UX team for iTunes anymore. Artist view is really annoying -- doesn't show details, breaks the tracklisting to two columns...
    Seriously. All I want is to view my albums with a picture in the order I put them in.

    Well, it's also more difficult to search this forum than it used to be. I couldnt find anything while searching, but this result poped up at the top of "More Like This" after I posted.

  • Exports not in chronological order: How to export in CreateDate order.

    Hopefully this is an easy one but I can't figure it out. I have an event with about 850 pictures that were taken over a week's time. When originally imported into iPhoto they spanned several events because iPhoto by default creates one event per day. I subsequently merged all the events, and indeed the photos are in chronological order in iPhoto.
    When I export to a folder on the desktop (JPEG High quality, Full size) and then examine that folder, +the photos are no longer in the order taken.+ The first day's photos seem to be in the middle, for example. The photos were renamed with ascending number values, but, for example, image 086 appears about halfway down, behind, say, 487.
    It appears that the EXIF Create Date is not the criterion used to sort exported images(?) How can I get iPhoto to export this way? Who wants to look at a disk full of vacation images that are completely out of order. It seems to me to be the logical, default way to export a series of images.
    Help! Thank you!

    But when you export from iPhoto, it is iPhoto that names the files for export.
    Correct.
    If you export them at the Event level, it doesn't rename them in exif chronological order correctly
    Renaming in exif chroological order? Is that a feature? iPhoto does not rename files at all unless you tell it to. If you don't tell it to then it will export the files with the same name as they imported with.
    However, if you open the event and select all the photos and export as sequentially numbered files, it will number them correctly based on exif data.
    No it won't. It will export them as sequentially numbered files based on the sort you were using at the time of export, as OT points out. The sequential numbering has nothing to do with the exif data and everything to so with the sort order you have chosen in the Event or Album. Choose a different sort order in the Event and you'll get a different result.
