Order of songs in a playlist ?

Hello,
I hope somebody can help me:
I created several playlists on my 1st-generation iPod nano in coordination with iTunes. Now I want the songs to be played in alphabetical order - in iTunes everything is okay, but if I eject the iPod the songs are still in the order I put them in ...
How can I manage to get them in alphabetical order on my iPod ?
THank you for your response !!!
Simone
iPod nano 1st generation   Windows XP Pro  

Thanks for your input - but the solution was so easy: I had to create an intelligent playlist ... thanks again to apple-support-hotline ;o)))

  • Ipad2, iOS 8.1.2, how do I change the order of songs in my Playlists?

    I Have an iPad 2, using iOS 8.1.2. i can't seem to change the order of songs in my Playlists in the Music App. I've clicked on Edit, and tried moving the 3 lines on the right up/down, but when I press Done, the changes have not been affected. Can anyone advise, please? I'm sure I'm missing something!

    It sounds like you are doing it correctly. That method works for me in iOS 8.1.2
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iDevice?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

    How can I shuffle the order of songs in a playlist in iTunes 11?

    Never mind, finally figured it out. All the advice says to click on the left-most column, but it's actually the second column from the left (the first one, in mky version of iTunes, is the album list.)

  • How to change the order of songs in a playlist?

    The order of songs in a playlist on ITunes is different than the order of songs on my IpodNano 7th Gen -- how can I get them to be the same?

    I think so. I have "Music" selected from the drop down menu, and I have "Playlists" selected from the top row of choices. The title of the playlist is in a header row with the number of songs (26) and playing time. The first column is the one that shows the numbers assigned to each song.
    I have tried selecting "Edit Playlist" thinking that might be where I should go to fix this, but I can't drag or drop there either.
    Any other ideas???

  • Why is the order of songs on a playlist different on my iphone than it is on my computer

    The playlist "My Top Rated" is in descending order by rating on my computer (songs with the same rating are then sorted by artist) but on my phone they are always in a messed up order. I've tried making new playlists and resynching my phone, but nothing is working.And no, I don't have shuffle on.

  • How do I change the order of songs in a playlist?

    I know that I used to be able to drag songs to a different order in my iTunes playlists, but tonight, no matter the order that I add the songs to the playlist, or Smart Playlist, the order of the songs is alphabetically arranged, and the only other option is to click on "name" but then it just does reverse alphabetical order.
    Is something different, in a recent iTunes upgrade?  I'm a music teacher and I am trying to put the songs in the order that my students will be performing them next week, so this is driving me crazy tonight!!!!
    Thanks so much for sharing wisdom on what I am doing wrong!

    Do you have other choice selected in "View Options"?  Try turning on columns for album, artist, etc. if they aren't on and see if you can sort by those.  The other thing to try is to make sure you are viewing by List, not cover flow or another choice.  iTunes selects Album Artist by default and that can really make it hard to get things to group properly.

  • How do I change the order of songs in my playlists?

    It used to be a simple as click and drag, but now it's seems impossible.  I'm really frustrated with the is dang machine to the point of putting a coffee cup through it and buying a pc.  I'm running iTunes 11.4

    Hello there bcourtney,
    If the track you are dragging will not stay in the place you are trying to drag it to and seems to snap back, it seems to me that the playlist this is happening on is a Smart Playlist, rather than a standared Playlist. The standard playlist can be sorted in this way in iTunes 11:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Create a playlist
    Edit a playlist
    Select the playlist and do any of the following:
    Drag the songs into the order you want. If you can’t drag a song, click the column heading above the numbers.
    Looking at the Smart Playlist article it does not have that same drag and drop sorting function.

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • How do I manually change the order of songs in a playlist?

    What am I missing?

    Assuming that you are using the View/As List to look at your Playlist, click on the top of the number column on the left side, so that the songs are in the order they were placed into the list (and there will now be an arrow at the top of that column). Now simply drag songs to the point in the list where you want them.
    If the Playlist was in the order of Last played for instance, then you simply cannot drag songs around in the list because it would go against the "last played" order.

  • How do I re-arrange order of songs in a playlist in itunes 10.3.1?

    Just had a technician tune up my iMac yesterday and apparently he upgraded itunes to version 10.3.1. I just tried to re-arrange a playlist song order and I couldn't do it by trying to drag a song to a different order slot in the list. Can anyone explain how to do it please?  Thanks!  Allison

    Allison, open the playlist and do two things:  (1) Click above the column of numbers, so that a little triangle appears there.  (2)  Make sure Shuffle (the two crossing arrows at the lower left) is turned off.
    Then you will be able to drag songs up or down in the playlist.

  • How can I change order of songs in a playlist from alphabetical. I'm using v. 10.7. In a previous version I could drag the songs into any order, but this doesn't work anymore.

    The playlists in version 10.7 always put the songs in alphabetical order rather than the order in which I add them. With my older version I could re-order them by dragging them. With this one they just pop back into alphabetical.

    It turns out that by clicking a little arrow to the left of "name" on the header, the titles can be unalphabetized.

    I have shuffle  turned off. Seems like it shoudl be the simplest thing in the world to do, but I can't click and drag songs to change the order.

  • With iTunes match, order of the songs in my playlist of mobile devices is not the same as on my computer

    In my iTunes on computer, I have several smart play lists. Within each playlist, songs are set to a certain order. Some playlist songs order are organized by name, some playlists are organized by Album, some playlists are organized by artist etc.
    When I was syncing my iPhone and iPad directly with my computer, the playlists on my mobile device had same order of songs as on my itunes in computer.
    Now, I signed up for iTunes match. With iCloud sync, order of the songs in my playlist of mobile devices is not the same as on my computer. In fact, order of songs within a playlist appears to be completely random. Moreover, order of songs are different in my iPhone 4s and iPad 2
    How can I change the order of songs on my mobile devices or how do I make iTunes match to sync my songs such that within a playlist, my songs are in the same order as that of iTunes on my computer.

    Thanks mracole. I assume this means order of songs will work with regular play lists I iTunes match. Will try it this afternoon and report.
    Please let me know if my understanding is not correct.
    Best regards and thanks once again.

  • How can I change the order of songs in a smart playlist?

    Hi there,
    I have a question about smart playlists.
    I have a smart playlist where all songs rated 5 stars are ordered in descending order, meaning the latest additions first. That works well in iTunes and I can rearrange the songs there without a problem.
    But when I start the iPod on my iPhone the order of songs in this playlist is always the same. In my case the latest songs are always put last no matter how I sort the songs in iTunes. I tried to delete and create a new smart playlist but the result is always the same.
    Is there a solution?
    Thanks for your answers....

  • Moving order of songs in Playlist?

    How do I change the order of songs in a playlist?

    The songs go into the playlist in the order you put them into it.
    If you had the library sorted in alphabetical order, selected a bunch of songs, they will be in the playlist in alphabetical order.
    If you select one song and add it then another and add it, then another and add it, they will be in the order you added them.
