Podcasts synching in reverse order

I use an iPod Touch w/iTunes on the Mac and despite how I sort my podcasts inside iTunes, they sync up from newest to oldest on my Touch.
I want them to sync up oldest to newest so I can listen in that order. Is there any way to do this??
Thanks in advance.
Michael

Place them in the order you want after you've deleted them?? I'm not following that!
If you go to the main heading for the podcast and hit the PLAY button (not the center button) the podcasts will play in chronological order. At least when I tried this last night it worked great.. It seemed like if you stop it jumps back to the oldest one again even though you may have finished it. A quick tap on the >>| and you will jump to where you were in the next one.
When someone told me about this, I kept hitting the middle button and it doesn't work there.

Podcasts only in reverse order?

Why would I want to listen to the newest ones before the older ones? And why after I deleted the podcast app (which I put on myiPad not realizing it would also put itself on my phone) will the podcasts still not sync with my smart playlist that was working fine before this app fiasco. And why does apple screw my playlist order with every ios update?

I wish the same thing - it's a bit annoying when you want to listen to a series and you have to keep fiddling with the ipod. if it's an audio series I suppose you could put it into a playlist in chronological order.

My I-Pod plays all podcast in reverse order such as 3.2.1 no matter how I arrange them in I-Tunes. How do I get my I-Pod to play in the proper 1,2,3 sequence?

My 3rd gen I-Pod plays all podcast in reverse order, even if I manually try to load it. I will only automatically play in 3,2,1 order. Even brought it to the Apple Store and they couldn't figure it out either. Even bought another I-Pod and still plays in reverse order. Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance for any help, Ty

They did not order the podcasts correctly in the playlist then. Several people, including myself, have been able to play podcasts in sequential order.
When viewing the playlist in iTunes, look to the far left of each episode. There should be a number next to it. This is the ordering of the playlist. Sort the playlist in sequential order and view the numbering along the leftmost column and see if the ordering matches up as desired. If they don't, you'll need to drag and drop tracks until they are.
Once the ordering is as desired, right->click on the playlist and choose Copy to Play Order. Then resync the playlist over to your iPod.

Podcast audiobook episodes in reverse order

I upgraded my iPod Touch software to 2.2, and all of the chapters in my audiobook podcasts are now in reverse order. (They are downloaded from Librivox.)
All of the chapters are in correct order on iTunes and when my iPod is hooked up to iTunes, the sidebar shows that the chapters should be in correct order. But on the iPod itself, the chapters are reversed.
I have tried both Syncing and Restoring.

I had a similar thing happen, not to an audio book, but a sequence of MP3s of a concert staged reading of a show of mine. I tried all kinds of tricks in re: interpolating sequenve numbers at the start of filenames, putting files in manually, etc. -- everything except syncing, because I'm not keen on relinquishing even partial manual control of contents. Then rather by accident I found the solution. Or at any rate MY solution. And it's ridiculously easy.
(1) Make sure all the playlist's MP3 files are in a folder on your desktop, named so that when you view them as a list, you see them in chronological order.
(2) Attach your iPod to your Mac and boot iTunes.
(3) in iTunes select your iPod and create a new playlist.
(4) Drag the playlist folder -- not its contents, but the folder ITSELF -- to the new playlist window; the files will be copied in order.
That's it. When you remove your iPod from the Mac, the correct order of the previously troublesome playlist should be retained and not reversed. Or at least that's what worked for me.

How can I get iTunes to NOT fill iPod shuffle in reverse order?

Any ideas?? iTunes loads my iPod shuffle in the reverse order when I drag tracks from my Music Library to my iPod. This is important because I like to listen to audiobooks during my workouts. All I want is to listen to the first track first and not the last track!
It seems as if the issue arose when I updated to the latest iTunes (7.1.1.5). The previous version worked just fine for me.
I reloaded a book that I listened to previously. Although it loaded up several weeks ago OK, now it too loads the tracks in the reverse order.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!!

After a couple of days, I'm noticing that the repeat(ing) offenders have more than 10 episodes, and seem to keep repeating them every time I sync.
They only show once in my phone and in the iTunes Podcasts, but through iTunes and looking at what's in my phone is when I see the repeats.
Even after I've marked a podcast as played, and deleted it from within my phone, as well as telling iTunes to delete the played episodes, it still shows multiples of the played episodes.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. They aren't the newest ones either.

Episodes/Song in Reverse Order

It's a podcasting defect. I reformatted the audiobooks as audiobooks--not as podcasts--and everything's fine.

Playlist synching out of order

My playlists are out of order on my iPad and iPhone. In iTunes the playlist shows the way I want it (sorted by date added...last added shows first). However when I open the playlist in either my iPad or iPhone they playlist order is completely messed up. In fact, I can't figure out what the order is as it isn't date added, alphabetical, artist, etc.
I have the latest software on all devices and I use iCloud synching and iCloud matching but noticed this problem before I used iCloud but after I had upgrade to iOS5 and OSX 10.7.2. Also, I have right moused clicked on the playlist in iTunes and selected "Copy To Play Order".
Does anyone know what to do?
Thanks

Me too, on my ipod Touch only (correct on iTunes and correct on iPod Classic). So irritating! It's ALMOST in reverse order (least recent at the top, rather than most recent the way I want it), but then within an artist, it's in arbitrary order. No fixes found yet.

Trying to sync podcasts in a certain order to iPod color

Howdy-
I have downloaded several podcasts to iTunes.
With automatic syncing, these copy to my iPod OK. I can access them in the Podcasts section of my iPod. But they are in reverse order (I wish to start listening to the oldest podcast & move "forward" in time, to listen to old radio serials in order).
So, I created a playlist in iTunes with the podcasts in my preferred order. But this playlist dies not auto-sync to my iPod playlists. I need to turn off the auto sync option in iTunes & then manually drag the playlist to the iPod for the new playlist to appear. But, if I then revert iTunes to the automatic sync option, the new playlist is removed from my iPod.
A search has turned up 1 option1 that doesn't work for me: If my iPod's On-The-Go playlist showed in iTunes, I could drag podcasts into it, but the OTG playlist does not appear in iTunes, though it is indeed on my iPod (however, it has never worked--if I push & hold the center button while playing a song, it doesn't add it to the OTG playlist).

Thank you,

Order them by track number 1 of 16, 2 of 16, etc. Rip an album and see how they are done by iTunes for you. By track number is how. Hmmm.....to be clear, as it appears you think calling it 01- Dance makes it track 01 (it doesn't):
In the info box for the track is a track X of Y set of boxes. There is where you enter both numbers. Note the "of" number is always the same if that's not too obvious....You can reorder a store-bought CD as well if you want, just change the number before the of.
Also post Windows questions in the iTunes for Windows forums. Although I doubt the cure is any different there.

Scanned items show up in REVERSE order

HP, please be more desriptive. I read previous posts and still cannot fix.
When I scan a 5 page document, 1-5, it shows up on my MAC 10.9 in the order 5-1.
One of your posts says in the "Copy" settings on the printer to change to "Collate On", then save default.
I did this and it still shows up in the wrong order.
I scan large documents everyday and need to have in correct order.
Please help and be very specific!!!!
Thank you,
Terry

Hello tryii223,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand when you scan a document, then scans are showing in reverse order. Just to clarify this issue, I need to ask you some question:
I need to find out what type of printer do you have? Click here to find out: Model Number.
How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB?
Are you using the scanner glass or automatic document feeder? If you're using the automatic document feeder, are you placing these pages 1-5 or 5-1?
Please verify this information and I will assist you further. Have a great night!

How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)

How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)
So I'm adding new songs to a very old playlist? Is there anyway that when I add them, they automatically go to top of playlist? How about getting one song to the top of a playlist. That drag to arrange function is very annoying because it is slow and the playlist does not scroll up very well on a PC.

Make a new playlist by pressing the little plus button at the very lower left corner of iTunes. An new playlist will appear in the Source pane called "untitled playlist". While the name is highlighted, you can change it to whatever you want. Drag all of the tracks from all the albums that comprise a single book to that playlist. Sync that playlist to your iPod.

Reverse order in File- Open dialogue

The file/folder list in the File->Open dialogue window is "stuck" at showing in reverse order. I can right-click in the Open dialogue window and sort ascending, but the next time I open a file it is back to reverse order.
I have experimented with Explorer's view settings but Reader appears to ignore those. Other applications, for example Word, use Explorer's view settings and behave as I would expect.
I suspect that someone has inadvertently changed something on this PC. Perhaps there's a keystroke combination that changes the file display order persistently?
Any ideas, please?

I'm still struggling with this - does anyone know how to change the file sort order in the File->Open dialogue?
It must be possible to change it because it has somehow been changed to reverse order!

Songs are in reverse order on iPad, but correct on iTunes

I have a number of Smart Playlists that look fine when displayed on iTunes, but when iTunes copies them to my iPad Air, the list of albums shows up in the correct order but the songs in each album are sorted in reverse order.
So for example, I have a Smart Playlist defined where "Artist is Jean Michel Jarre". That playlist is sorted by Year in list view and by Year-then-Title in Grid view.
When I look at that same Playlist on my iPad Air, all of his albums appear in chronological order (which I expect), but the songs on each album are listed last-to-first. So Oxygene (his first album) shows up before Equinoxe (his second album), but the list of songs on the Oxygene album are shown as: Part VI, Part V, Part IV, Part III, Part II, Part I. All of the albums on the list are in the right order, but the list of songs on each album appears backwards in each one.
This is just one example of a bug that manifests itself a lot on my iPad. I have a lot of Smart Playlists that misbehave just like this. I deal with it by creating not-smart playlists that are exact copies of the Smart Playlists -- but honestly, why offer Smart Playlists if they're not going to display correctly? If they're this buggy, why am I using them at all?
Does anybody know of a workaround for this bug? Does anybody know whether Apple is aware of it, and if they have any plans to fix it? Please? Maybe? Someday?

I am now home from work, and over the past hour I have tried every combination of up-arrows, down-arrows, Copy To Play Order, sorting on the leftmost column, sorting on the Year column, etc. etc. that I could think of. I believe I have followed your recommendations slavishly and to the letter.
My Jean Michel Jarre Smart Playlist is sorted with the triangle on the leftmost column, and in iTunes, the playlist order is correct. I have sync'd my iTunes library to the iPad several times, I have unchecked that playlist, performed the sync again to remove it from the iPad entirely, checked it again and performed the sync again -- I have also tried closing the Music app on the iPad and restarting it -- I've also tried deliberately sorting the tracks in iTunes in reverse order to see if the iPad does anything any differently, including a "Copy to Play Order" for good luck -- and every combination of all of these choices results in exactly the same outcome: on the iPad, albums show up in chronological order, and tracks in each album show up in reverse order. Nothing I do makes any difference at all.
Here's hoping iOS 8 at least doesn't make things any worse. Maybe if the gods are smiling, it might actually solve this problem. I was hoping that the upgrade to iTunes 11.4 might have made a difference, but, sadly, no such luck ... which is why my hopes for salvation in iOS 8 are not high ... but that doesn't stop me from being grateful to you for trying to help. Thank you for your time. I do appreciate it.

How to print a document in reverse order using Java Print API ?

I need to print a document in reverse order using Java Print API (*Reverse Order Printing*)
Does Java Print API supports reverse order printing ?

Which method implementation of Pageable interface should return the page number ?w.r.t. your first question: don't return that number but return page n-1-i when page i is requested; your document will be printed in reverse order. Your class should implement the entire interface and wrap the original Pageable. (for that number n your class can consult the wrapped interface; read the API for the Pageable interface).

Photos synch out of order

Photos from some of my albums synch out of order when I upload them. How can I prevent this or else how can I fix the order on the iPod? The photos are numbered and should have stayed in order. (Most albums loaded in order - a few didn't.)

I had the same problem when I converted a Power Point to .jpg files. Each slide was given a number 1, 2, 3, . . . 10, 11, 12, . . .
The problem is that the iPod reads the numbers and shows the photos "alphabetically" so the order ends up being 1, 10, 11, 12, . . . 2, 20, . . .
You need to renumber or rename each photo either so they're 01, 02, 03, . . . or a, b, c, . . .

Just purchased a new iMac and transferred all info from my old iMac. Now when using iPhoto slideshow is displays the pictures in reverse order.

Just purchased a new iMac and after transferring all info from my old iMac. Now when using iPhoto slideshow it displays the pictures in reverse order.

There's a bug in iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks that affects slideshows played directly from an album. The slideshow will not play correctly if the photos have been sorted manually. Any other type of sort, date, rating, keyword or title, will play correctly.
If you need that manual sort of pictures for your slideshow create the slideshow in iPhoto's slideshow mode.
