Manually change the track order in a playlist?

I have purchased and downloaded 20 tracks from the Itunes store with just two artists involved, 8 tracks from one and 12 tracks from the other. I've created a playlist and at the moment the tracks are listed first by artist 1 and then artist 2. I want to burn this playlist to a cd, but before I do I want to shuffle the tracks manually.
There seems to be no obvious way of doing this. Help would be appreciated.

The choices available in the Sort By dropdown are based on the columns you've chosen to display in Songs view (which is why - in part - your screenshot looks different to mine).  However, the only place I can see where the Manual Order option is absent is where you are looking at the complete Library (where the Track Number column is not being displayed) and not a specific playlist.  In the latter case I always get that option, independent of the columns that are selected and displayed.
Likewise, every playlist - when viewed in Songs view - has an unlabeled column at the left hand side which is the effective "play order" for the playlist (which is what tt2 refers to in his response above).  Also, your screenshot shows an "iCloud Download" option, which I only see as being available when looking at the library as a whole and not at a playlist.  I was also caught out by the presence of a "Ticked" option but I assume that this is a regionalization issue - for me (configured for US English) the corresponding entry is "Checked".
You may have an underlying issue here but I would double check that you are looking at Songs view for a specific playlist and not the whole library.

  • How do you change the actual order of your playlists?

    Hey all,
    For example, I would like the "Recently Added" list to be at the top of all my playlists. Thank you for the help,

    I'm using itunes 7.5 and I don't see any way of changing it. I think certain items and groups are ordered by default. However, you can change the name of things and thereby change the alphabetical order. Putting things like an empty space or a special character like * in front of a name will also change the ordering without notably changing the appearance of an item.

  • Change the track order?

    I know the solution has to be simple: - I'm working on a sequence with about seven separate audio tracks on the timeline. Now I want to move the audio track that's third from the bottom to say the second track from the top. How do I did it?

    Jarrod, you probably get this from Craig's response, but this is not as intuitive as some situations, so I'll add a bit for those who won't follow this.
    As Craig says, you can't move tracks. You can, however, insert new tracks, specify whether they are mono or stereo etc, and determine where they are placed in the track order. So in your case, target audio track one, insert a new audio track (of the correct type - mono stereo e.g.) selecting "after target track." Then copy/paste from the original track to the new track. Then delete the old track (or just silence it and leave it for security).

  • How do I change the song order of a playlist.  I used to be able to click and drag to a new order.

    How do I change the order of songs in a playlist.  I used to be able to click and drag to the new location, but can't now.

    Ricardo, It changed in iTunes 11. 
    With the playlist open, click on the View menu, View Options, and then set the "Sort By" field to "Manual Order."  Then you can drag songs up or down.
    If you don't see the View menu, you may have your Menu bar hidden.  In that case, unhide it first, by using CTRL-B.

  • How to change the track order in an album

    I have created a mix album, with the tracks in the order I want them. Somehow, the tracks have now gone out of order in my music library. I can order them however I want in a playlist, but not in the actual library. I have burned a CD from the playlist, deleted the album from my library, then imported the CD, but the tracks again appear out of order.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Add track numbers and number of tracks to the songs in your list. Right click on a song (Control -click if you are using a one button mouse) and choose Get Info then the Info tab: Add Song Information to My Tunes

  • Manually changing the Track name in my Library?

    When importing songs from an external CD, the songs are coming up Track 1, Track 2 and so on. The Itunes doesn't find a supported name.  How can I rename the Track in my Library to the song name?

    Then follow the first steps I mentioned, because iTunes can only find track names for commercial CDs:
    Simply select the song and right-click/Get Info/Info>Name and type in the title you want.

  • Changing the reading order is deleting hyperlink tags

    I have a document that I have created in InDesign and I am turning it into a tagged PDF. I'm having 2 problems:
    1-The reading order is fine when it is in InDesign but when I bring it into Acrobat it is changing the reading order
    2- When I manually change the reading order all my hyperlinks become untagged, even though they were tagged properly before I changed the reading order.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

  • When I burned an album that had pictures from 3 cameras that I rearranged the cd came out in camera order not my rearranged order.  Can this be fixed without manually changing the cd?

    No.
    How did you arrange the shots in iPhoto? In an album, manually?
    Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

  • 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)

  • Can you change the track number of a song got from the iTunes store?

    I am trying to change the track numbers of stuff I have purchased from iTunes store. I have found that even if you change them in the Info tab section it doesn't actually change. I purchased a load of Muse B-sides and stuff from the iTUNES store and wanted to make them all into an album of b-sides all numbered 1 to whatever, but even if I do change the number like I said, when I put it onto my ipod it still seems to keep the track number it had originally. Say I purchased track 2 of a single. But on the cd I burn I want it to be track 7. So I burn the cd with all the tracks in the order I want them with Itunes ( having changed their track numbers as well in the info section ) but when I rip the cd back into Itunes and put it onto my pod the track that was track 7 on the cd ( but was originally track 2 off a single i purchased ) becomes track 2 again when it on my ipod? Any way round this?

    Make a playlist and put them in whatever order you like within that playlist.
    Cheers!

  • How do I change the chapter order in itunes 11.0.4?

    How do I change the chapter order in itunes 11.0.4? The book chapters used to look like the playlists in music. You could ;change how it was sorted by the name time, artist etc. Now there isn't a catagory label and the background is the same color as the background of the book photo.

    Someone else in the forum told me how to do this.  If you have Onyx on your system then select Parameters, iTunes and turn off high contrast mode.  If you don't have Onyx, I'd suggest getting it.  It is freeware and used to help maintain your system.  Good luck
