My Podcasts out of order on iTunes 11.1

I recently upgraded from iTunes 11 to 11.1 and found that the list of podcasts in the My Podcasts tab is now totally out of order. If I go to the List tab it goes back to alphabetical order, but I liked the layout and features of My Podcasts until it got messed up. Anyone else having this problem or any suggestions for how to deal with it?

This whole podcast 'upgrade' has been a disaster. One thing which might help you is if you choose 'unplayed podcasts' rather than 'my podcasts and then 'edit' - 'view options' - tick 'thread view' . This reverts the list of unplayed pods from date order to podcast order (also alphabetical) this is the closest I can get to the old list view which I used to keep track of pods. It does not of course deal with all of the other problems as these are only unplayed pods and you can't seem to open into lists but at least I can make some sense of it.

Albums out of order in iTunes and on iPod

Despite what I try to do, sometimes iTunes 7 orders an album completely wrong. iTunes puts my album in this order: track 3,4,1,11,14 (those are the ones I have for the album). Track 4 I purchased through the iTunes Store as a single, and Track 1 and 11 I purchased as part of the album. But it seems that in putting track 4 in the album, iTunes believes that means that Track 1 follows it!
This did happen occasionally (with the same album) in the previous version of iTunes, but it was always correct on my iPod, and now it follows the incorrect order in my library.

This has hit me now, and it's something to do with version 7.0
Having installed 7 yesterday, and straightened out the compilation album andaudio playback bugs , I noticed that some of my older albums didn't have track x of y, just track x.
I thought I'd sort it out by doing a mass Get Info on all tracks from each such album; /however/, when I do this, it re-orders the tracks (apparently randomly), and will not allow me to change the order at all.
Wiping track numbers, wiping tracks themselves, nothing works
This is phenomenally annoying. Anyone got any answers
P.S. I've just found that /any/ info change can re-order an album - I just changed the genre on an album and it randomised the track order

Podcasts out of order

Regardless of what order I arrange podcasts in on my shuffle while it's connected to iTunes (for example, I generally order them according to type and date and put them at the bottom of the list, after the music), when I play my shuffle and when I reconnect it to iTunes all of the podcasts are seemingly randomly reordered and are at the top of the list, before the music.
I don't have the shuffle setting on, I've restored the shuffle multiple times, and my iTunes software is up-to-date.
Any suggestions?

I don't get it either. It used to work that way. You would click the play order column and drag the files into whatever order we chose, not iTunes. I may prefer to hear some short podcasts, regardless of date, first, followed by the longer ones. Or my favourites first. Now we have no control.
If you wanted a different sort order, you could click on that column, then right-click the Shuffle icon and select Copy To Play Order to preserve that ordering when it played. For the life of me, I don't know what that menu choice does now.
It used to be that when the Shuffle's switch was in shuffle mode, it played music in a random order. We could always switch shuffle mode off to get podcasts played in the order we wanted. Seemed fair. The Shuffle's choice rules when switched on and we ruled when switched off. Now the Shuffle has full control.
As we have not been able to choose the play order for over a year, I can only conclude that this is the way Apple wants it to work. I've already sent feedback using this page on the Apple site:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodshuffle.html
I strongly encourage everyone to let Apple know their views through that link rather than these forums as it isn't clear to me if these forums have any influence on Apple's decisions.

Is there a reason TV show seasons are out of order with iTunes 8.0?

Or is it just me? Whenever I view TV Shows by "Grid," the shows are correctly arranged alphabetically, but the seasons of each show are just in a random order. Is there a new field you need to fill out in 8.0?

In case you've not found it yet ..
Once in grid mode go to the View menu and from there you can "Sort TV Shows". If you sort "By Artist" you get a few more sub-sorting options (Like by Year, which will then put your seasons into the correct order as long as you have the year filled in for your shows within Get Info)
Hope this helps

ITunes TV Shows are out of order in iPhone tab.

I've been importing a TV Show Season from DVD into iTunes so I can watch the TV show on my iPhone at the gym. Everything works well, the TV shows are imported, I enter the meta-data for each show, title, episode #, etc.... When I look at my TV shows in the TV Shows tab in the side bar, they are all listed in order by episode number. Yet when I go to the iPhone tab in the sidebar, and the select the TV Shows tab to try and sync, all of the episodes are random and in no particular order at all. Maybe I'm just being OCD about it, but I want to watch the seasons in order and now I have no way to do this? Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks

Just discovered your post, I made a similar post with the same problem, only concerning Podcasts and not TV Shows. I don't think you're being OCD about it at all. It's only logical to expect that if you can put the songs of a music album in a certain order and listen to them that way, that you should be able to do the same with a TV show or Podcast series.
Check to make sure all of the following are set:
Info tab: Track number
Video tab: Show, Season Number, Episode ID, Episode Number
The TV shows on my iPod are in the correct order, but the Podcasts are not. Unexpectedly, I think it may be the Track number from the info tab that keeps them in order. I just removed the track number from an episode and it went out of order.

Podcast chapters out of order

My downloaded podcast chapters are appearing out of order in my library. I am unable to manipulate the menus or the "get info" data to reorganize them back into numerical order. Very frustrating when trying to listen to several chapters in a row.

Podcasts are connected in iTunes via a hidden tag field called ITUNESPODCASTURL, the order is then controled by ITUNESPODCASTID. I use mp3tag to edit these when I feel the need and a script I wrote called UpdateTagInfo to get iTunes to notice the changes.

Video and audio not sync when i play all forms of video. from music videos, to tv shows. but they play perfect on my iPod. and tv shows display out of order on iPod, but in correct order on iTunes/computer. I even ran a virus check just to make sure.

audio and video do not syncronize. all forms of videos. music videos to tv shows. what do i need to do the syncronize them again
they are in sync on iPod, but not on computer.
another issue that might be from the same cause is, the order of episodes of the tv shows i have downloaded, they appear in order on computer, but on iPod they show out of order.
any tips on how to fix this would very much help.
thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
An old version of iTunes will cause this and mess up the videos on your iPod. Always make sure you always use an up-to-date version of iTunes.
Make sure all the software on your computer is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
You will then need to restore the iPod and then let iTunes update your iPod and put your music, videos, etc. back onto your iPod...
Restore the iPod

Is there a way to reorganize out-of-order tracks in iTunes 11?

Hello all--
In iTunes 10, if an album appeared with the track numbers out of order, I could just click on the track number tab within each individual album and the tracks would be resorted by track number. In iTunes 11, I can't find a way to do the same thing. For example, I imported an album and now it starts out with track 4, then goes to 15, etc., but can't get them to sort sequentially. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I tried looking at one out-of-order album in the "songs" view, based on a similar question, but every time I try to search for the album under "songs" iTunes shows the result under "albums".

here is a link to macosxhints.com that tells you how to output all of your feed URLs to a terminal window. from there you can cut and paste them into your new feed reader of choice...

and if you are in the marked for a new reader may i suggest David Watanabe's excellent NewsFire. he had just recently made it totally free as a gift to the macintosh community.
best of luck.

ITunes U courses listings out of order? Hegarty - Coding Together

Paul Hegarty's iTunes U course named "Coding Together - Apps for iPhone and iPad" lists its courses in a confusing order, it seems. (See image below). The number system is inconsistently applied and out of order, the dates are jumbled, etc.
How can I know what order to take the courses? (Believe me, I've tried to find the answer before posting this).

Set your track numbers correctly (by right clicking, clinking 'Get Info' and clicking on the info tab), and make sure you also set the totals (e.g. 12 of 18 - the "of 18" is what I mean by the totals). This sorted it out on my iPod.
This worked for me for my Teaching Company files. They were all jumbled previously because they took the track numbers from the default import from the internet. Once I changed it, no problem.
It would be better if Apple allowed just a dragging, or if there was a quick tool, but at least this works.
I had previously been using "Join Together" for stuff like this. I think I like this method better, though. I can still keep the individual lecture files on a playlist, but not have to worry about all the separate titles in a general listing.

Do out of order iTunes 11 tracks sync to iPod?

The upgrade to iTunes 11 caused various albums to show out of order track listsings in expanded view. We haven't re-synced our iPod to iTunes since the update for fear that this mis-ordering will be brought over to the iPod.
Will the new track ordering move to the iPod on sync?
Is there any way to force the old ordering?
We've looked at a lot of solutions on line, none have helped, they're for previous versions. We see a correlation between the albums we ripped from CD and the ones that are mis-ordered.
All help appreciated!!

I just reformatted the files to MP3 and it took care the problem.

Songs displaying out of order in new iTunes

Despite proper track numbers on all the songs, tracks still display out of order when viewing them. Here is an album where the proper track numbers are showing but each song is in a completely random order. Note that shuffle is not enabled.
I've attempted to fix this by adjusting settings in the View menu and clicking and dragging. Nothing helps.
Any tips would be very much appriciated.

Hey Kilima,
THANK YOU! The problem was that some of the songs were labeled as "Album 1 of 1" while other songs had this information completely missing. This didn't affect the track listings in the old iTunes, but got distorted when I upgraded.
Thanks again!

ITunes playing tracks out of order

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11 I've had a problem with some albums playing tracks out of order.
I put the track number in the file names and track titles, so sometimes I leave the track number field blank. Not a problem, because iTunes sorts the tracks alphabetically so it lists them in the right order.
In album view, if I select the first track, it plays all the tracks in the right order. But if I select the album, either by double-clicking the album cover or by searching for it from the mini player, it plays them in a random order.
This makes no sense. What's going on here?

So that's an obvious solution (and what I just did in this particular case). But it's an annoying bit of extra work and, more importantly, since it was never necessary before, I have a lot of albums which don't have track numbers. Because, as I said, they always displayed and played in the correct order regardless. So the track number tag was extraneous.
What I'm wondering is whether there's a fix for this behavior.
And also whether it's possible to implore the iTunes development team to fix this! If the tracks are listed in a certain order, they should always play in that order.

ITunes/iPod displays album tracks out of order

I have this weird problem where one of my albums has three tracks that display out of order.
http://i55.tinypic.com/mtwf0x.png
I can't think of anything in the tags that would cause this. They're all identical in terms of album/artist/# of tracks...
But this causes a wierd problem with another album
http://i55.tinypic.com/xmvh2e.png
The three out of place tracks go there when I order by album. On my iPod in album view, Black Symphony gets displayed in the Bs, but then in the Hs, it'll show up as a full listing again like this:
Heart of Everything
Black Symphony
Heart of Everything
Black Symphony
Heart of Everything
Black Symphony
Going into each album will have the full list. Heart of Everything displays its tracks in order, but each entry for Black Symphony will have the full listing with tracks 9, 15 and 21 at the bottom of the track list.
Any idea what would cause this issue?

Holy frigging crap that was it! I didn't even think to look under the sorting tab! No idea how that got set anyway since they're all from the iTunes store. Anyway, apart from those three tracks, Black Symphony had the Sort Album field empty. I cleared it on those three tracks and everything is normal now. Thank you!
